    Hello Sam - good name - change your thermostat, change your coolant/antifreeze whatever you wanna call it, and bleed the system. Problem sorted

    Only question is where did the air in your system come from? Once bled they should not need bleeding agin in normal service unless coolant is changed. My gut is telling me that your HG is leaking your coolant is slowly being burnt off. I hope not though and it is just a freak saxo thing!

    Sounds like your thermostats not opening,you can take it off and see if it works in cup of boiling hot water......
