Default Car heating up too quickly

Hello peeps,

I'm wonderin if you wonderful people can help me out. Its on my own car of a Focus 1.6 2003. The car itself engine wise is std barin from a induction kit and exhaust. Basically whats happenin is the car is just simply heating up too quickly, now I'm literally talkin of a few mins here, 1-3 as a general rule. Now I'm pretty sure its not a faulty gauge as its kickin out a equal amount of temp on the blowers, i.e hot is hot air etc. I know the car is loosin water but I know this is down 2 a slight leak in the bottom rad hose (replaced with silicone ones a lil while ago) & a chrome header tank but I know these have a habit of evaporatin water/anti-freeze anyway so I dont think thats the prob. I do have the car booked in2 a garage 2moro but its just incase they cant ne probs

Thanks Steve
