    Hmmm, there are a few checks that you can do yourself to determine the cause of your overheating issue. Some things to check:

    1. Let the car idle and come up to operating temperature. Feel both of the radiator hoses - is one much hotter than the other? Could point to a blocked radiator or thermostat problem.

    2. Also feel the radiator for cold spots when the car is warm, indicating a blockage.

    3. Which hose needs replacing, is it leaking? A leak will cause your cooling system to lose pressure, thus overheat.

    4. Check the radiator cap is properly sealing, the plastic end tanks on the stock radiator are prone to wear, again causing pressure to be lost.

    Have a read in the tech section under cooling system, there is a very comprehensive troubleshooting guide in there!
