What was causing the over heating, was it shortage of oil[:0]

Its a bit of a funny one John. She was low on oil which wouldn't help but the temperature goes up just be low the Red all the pipes get hot but she doesn't boiler over and when you remove the Rad cap you can stick your finger in the water as it hot but not boiling so it seem the temperature gauge is reading wrong[?] I will try another gauge asap. She is just idling in the garage so am hoping it may go down when I give her a run!

It could be the thermostat isn't opening, the temperature sender sits just behind it so it would show a higher temp than down stream in the rad.

Thanks for that mate! I think the Rad will need replacing as the bottom hose doesn't seem to get as warm as the rest do!
