righty as you can see from the picture below i kinda have a problem
what can it be?
i know the rad fan isnt kicking in but could it be anything else?
its drinking loads and loads of water aswell but only tends to over heat if its wet or i'm ragging it
if its drinking loads of water, you need to check the headgasket, if you fill the rad to the brim and see bubbles appearing at a fast idle, then the gasket is probably gone

ok so start the engine without the rad cap on and see if there is any bubbles?
nah i cant see any leaks curtis
oh the pic is of my temp gauge all the way to the top just before the H
to me I would say that the water pump is leaking if its really that excessive. Either way you WILL be doing damage by driving it. I suggest you get it repaired asap. I doubt its headgasket as you would really know about it if it was losing that much water, however if you keep overheating it you will kill that anyway.
I agree with ed, this happened on mine and was leaking through the water pump, due to the baring being shot...
Fill it up, run the car for a bit and then check underneth by the bottom part of the engine, where the fan belt goes down to the bottom of the engine.....If there is water there then this is the problem.
