many thanks in advance

If the rad and stat are ok
it sounds like ur water pump's had it

 

It is too much heat entering the water, either your cooling system is not as it should be, or you have headgasket going/gone.
I would look at reverse flushing the rad as a minimum, then check the top bottom hose to see if they are tha same temp and nice and hot.
I would also for the money install a new thermostat.
With this much cooling there should be no reason at all why it would not keep it's cool.
When you say overheating is it pushing water out of the expansion tank, how do you know it is oveheating ?

Cheers lads the pipes from rad to themastat are really hot and pipe from engine to rad are really hot too there isnt any water pissing out from anywhere my temp gauge just keeps rising thaks again

As said for the sake of Ł20 might be worth changing the water pump.

Did you say you have a front mount IC?

 

Sounds head gasket, cracked head/block to me. Had an R5 Turbo do exactly the same and it was head gasket.

Good luck fella

 

when u say ic mate do u mean inter cooler if so yeah i have mate and ive jus changed the head and put new gaskets on
thanks fellas

yer i mean intercooler.

how many fans u got, and where are they?

 

car is putting out 200bhp looks to me to be std intercooler and rad with single fan mounted to the left slightly would this have an affect on my temp or could my temp gauge be knackered
thanks again sc

 

so you dont have a front mount IC then???

 

i got an ic mounted beside the rad if thats what you mean mate sorry

 

just a standard one then by the sound of it

 

yeah by the looks of it mate

 

again drove home today from work and temp was rising up when turbo kicked in this is driving me crazy thanks again for your help

 

i had an rs turbo van that did this, in that instance it turned out it needed a new radiator. when the turbo came in and put the engine under more strain rad couldnt cope and temperature went up. if your rads blocked or collapsed inside it dont matter how much air you push through it it cant cool the water. feel all over the core when the cars hot and see if the core is hot everywhere.
if everything youve said is correct and you got no pressure or oil and water mixture issues im fairly confident itl be your rad mate.
