what can i check next to stop my car overheating?

is water circulating? can you see movement in expansion bottle/tank,if no movement could be water pump impellor faulty-corroded,adrift etc. does thermostat have a disc at bottom that closes off a waterway in its housing when stat opens,if so you may need to refit stat [after checking it] as sometimes this type of stat needs to be fitted so that water circulates fully round engine.radiator could be partially blocked.it there an air lock in system?also as posted rad fan needs checking out-try bridging wires on thermal switch to see if it comes on.am not familiar with your model but these are a few ideas!
