Overheating while driving, I have replaced the radiator and all the coolant hoses, but it still is getting too hot?

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation,

AS you have replaced with new just about the entire cooling system, I would be testing the thermostat for a fault just to be sure, and I would now be getting a head check done, this is a quick and simple chemical test to check for any traces of Co in the cooling system, if so this is a positive sine of a head or gasket problem, try this next.

Works like a new cooling system should now, I think it's a good idea to use a strainer cloth and a good funnell when changing this thermostat and the bleeding the system helps a lot too.
