Default Overheating problem.

Hello again people, still havnt got my head round these forums, so sorry if im in the wrong place or anything.
Ok my car is overheating basicly, water boils up n shoots out the overflow hose, (in the bottom right coolent pipe thing) any ideas?
Ive changed the thermostat, changed the rad and used a rad flush.
Still doing it.
The hose from the turbo blew a hole on the way back from hospital with new born on board, was not happy
Please help.
Also oil has no greyish color.

Thanks guys

Sounds like head gasket. It can fail and not put water in to oil, yours seems to be putting gas in to water system instead.

Is it a 2.5?

Sounds like a HG to me too.

Get it to a garage and get a sniff test done on the coolant

Might also be airlocked.
The only way to find out is first get a sniff test done, if it shows up negative, drain all the coolant and start again.
DO A SEARCH ON HERE FOR HOW TO REFILL WITHOUT AIRLOCKING, SINCE THERE IS NO WAY TO BLEED IT ONCE IT AIRLOCKS.
