Could be a jammed thermostat or a broken water pump.

Tried posting the same on my blackberry last night in bed, but the POST button had dissapered.

When was the cambelt last done ? did it have the plastic waterpump put in or a metal impeller one ?

Could be a faulty temp sender to, but most likeley thermostat as your heating is playing up.

The top of the engine was re-built 8 weeks ago so the cambelt should have been changed then, not sure about the water pump but ive got a bad water leak from the back of the engine as well now, I think its from the pipe leading to the heaters so its going to the garage that done the re-build cos its stressing me out now, Thanks for your help
