Default Over heating prob

Hi chaps

Just bought a UK P reg scooby wagon.

On Saturday the weather was great and I took my mates out for a run.
I blasted up the road and was out for 20 mins or so. Pulled up at the pub and went in for a sandwich. 20 mins later I went to the car and noticed that my car had dumped a couple of litres of water!?
I topped her up and went on my way, I got about half mile and the temp soared so I had to pull over. Dumped another litre of water. So i topped her up again. Got another half mile. Dumped again. Waited this time an hour or so before filling up.
Then I started her up again with the heaters on full.
I then drove 5 miles home, sat in traffic with no problem?!?

The fan didnt come on at all?

Whats my problem?

Cheers

sounds like a sticking thermostat next time it does it try feeling the bottom rad hose see if its hot or cold if its cold it most likely will be a thermostat problem
