Thanks so far for replies chaps!
I'll change the thermostat tomorrow, and I'll let you all know what happens.
Incidentally, regarding prices of parts:
QH water pump - £38, QH thermostat - £10, Valeo rad - £156, all these include VAT. Vx quoted £270 for rad - other quotes for rad were as high as £330 inc.
Good value here in South Wales - if you deal with the right guy!

Just to give you some idea, I've floored mine - foot right on the boards - for several minutes at a time, and never gone above 96C. Got it up to 97C going up Hardknot pass a few months ago - 4 up and a bit of lugguage.

I gave it some large today, then had to come to a screaming halt, but still, got to 96C whilst sat in traffic, never higher....
