   Hi All,
   
   So in desperate need of advice please!
   
   I have a VTR 01reg...keeps overheating after about 5 minutes!
   
   The story is!... Was off the road for 6 weeks and all hell broke loose when I came to drive it again!
   So I've put new battery, New starter motor, New alternator, New coolant temp switch, New thermostat and bleed the system! But it's still overheating!
   I have heat out of the interior heaters, radiator is cold bottom hose is cold and top hose is hot ( but only gets hot after the fans come on)
   
   Losing the will to live now lol...Any advice and input would be appreciated

   Sounds like a blockage somewhere or even the water pump vanes have broken.
