first thing to check is the rad. make sure all the fins are there if there is a a big gap of fins missing this could be your problem as the fins help to cool the rad .or try flushing the system could be some crap inside

Weren't you playing in Thetford Forest last week ????

Did you clean the radiator out afterwards ?? Told mad daughter to do hers as a matter of most importance after the wallowing !

I'd check your rad first Henry, I know some of the fins are shot on mine and sometimes the temp sparts to rise a little, but I've never had it to the red yet...!!!
