the rad could be blocked or the water pump might be worn out

as the fan gets hotter the fluid in the viscious coupling get thicker and the fan spins faster. If it's working run the engine till it gets hot. then switch the engine off see if you can turn the fan. If you can it's knackered. VIP make sure the engine is off and the fan isn;t spinning when you put your hands in there.
try this first we can worry about the rest afterwards.

I'd go back to Slobs suggestion an wash the rad out with water out of an 'osepipe. Watch you don't overdo it an knacker the fins though.

What are you seeing physically when it overheats?.......just the temp gauge rising into the red or is it doing a good impression of a steam kettle?
right it wasnt an air lock but the plastic plug on the thermostat housing is ****ed so i guess they break when the engine overheats. im pretty sure its the vizcuss cos i can turn it not matter what state its in . hot or cold so ill order 2 more plastic bungs and a vizcuss . wheel be in touch lads bloaty
