Checked water and oil when it had cooled down and found nothing wrong. Any ideas ??

From cold take off the resevoir cap and check the coolant is clean. As long as it is start the car and check that there is a flow in the tank to check the waterpump is working. Were the fans kicking in?

Airlock possibly
Start car, cap off, heater on full heat, squeeze the rad hoses a few times when it starts getting warm.
