Hi Matt,

The first thing you need to do is to check that your radiator fan is working properly. To do this, start the engine from cold then press the windscreen demist button on the air con./heater control panel. Now get out of the car and walk to the radiator grille. Can you hear the fan running continuously? Please report back and we'll take it from there.

I don't believe that you have head gasket failure.

Just one thing; has any work been carried out on the cooling system recently?

Simon
