Hi,
I am having overheating problems after having no heating in the car.
I replaced water pump, thermostat, and drive belt, also had the coolant system drained and re-filled, replaced the filler cap (140).
The start of the story began with me having no heating after having my back box replaced.
I had the head gasket tested and the pressure's are fine, I then had had the water pump then thermostat replaced which give me my heating back(not as hot as before but at least I got it back). For small journeys it goes' up to the middle on the instrument and stays there, if I drive for about 25/30 minutes it then goes' up to the top and the engine management system says 'engine overheating'?
Has anybody got any idea's as I am not that good on mechanics(in fact rubbish) any help would be brilliant.

Tom
