Overheating problem

Engine Cooling problem
1999 Rover 75 6 cyl Automatic

Overheating ( Temp Gauge will go up to 2/3 after 10mins driving). My friend said somewhere the pipe from radiator is leaking so needs to do the pressure test to find it out.

IF i want to repair it or if needed to replace it how much it cost to me..

very easy and low cost repair .. if it is just the hose ... I would have a compression test of the cylinders carried out before buying as this model is well known for headgasket failure causing the symptoms your describing
