Subject: RE: BS: car overheating
Is water circulating round the whole system? The thermostat should be closed when the engine is cold but open when it warms up. If you do think the thermostat is stuck closed, it may be possible to run without one to try and see if it cures the fault.
If the water appears to be circlating round the whole system and you have an electric fan check that it comes on when the engine is getting hot.
