Car has been fine until last week when it seems for no reason it started to overheat. My husband tested the thermostat and it opened ok, so he replaced the water pump. It still overheated. He then replaced the thermostat, just to be sure.
It still overheated.
We then replaced the radiator cap, and it is still over heating.

Can you suggest what else it could be, and how to fix it?
