Sounds like an air lock if the heaters are not working aswell.
Is there water returning to the header tank?

If the fans stay on and they didnt before as well as the gauge now sitting just under the red then you are hot for sure.
Heaters blowing cold air of not blowing at all?

I've never had a air lock on a CVH coolant system but with the engine running and header tank cap off go around squeezing all your coolant hoses, also if some feel hot and other cold then the water is not getting to the cold ones, ergo there may be an air lock.

If thats the case it has nothing to do with the coolant system, thats a separate electrical fault.
