just found this on the web:-
thermostat is located inside the engine part (water pump) where the lower hose attaches to the engine. Be careful with the bolts, use penetrating oil, you do not want to break one. Try to use a Subaru thermostat and gasket-- expensive, but cheaper than an overheated engine, most places do not stock the required thermostat, being an oddball temperatiue (167F), putting in a "regular 195F" thermostat WILL cook your engine. The gasket is really an O-ring affair-- it works nicely. Try not to re-use the old O ring gasket.

does the rad get warm on one side (the left side as you look at the car)???
also fill up from the expansion tank only. yes it will squirt a bit out the top, but should also drop, as you squeeze the lower pipe.
if its not that, then must be a blockage somewhere or the pump is fooked
edited to say - you ARE doing this with the car idling, aren't you???
where in essex are you?
