overheating

  1. #1
    hi, i have a 2000 reg. VTR. I went for a drive yesterday and the engine temp gauge on the left of the dash suddenly shot up into the red when i switched the engine back on. I nursed the car home and realised even when the car was off the gauge still was showing '1/4 full'. I have topped up the water in the radiator and it still seems to be in the red as i drive. Everything is still working and no indication lights have come on. I am not very good with the mechanics side of things so any help would be brilliant!

    Cheers
