Did you bleed the cooling system after replacement of the thermostat?

Remove the radiator cap.
Top up coolant.
Turn heater to maximum.
Start engine and allow to idle for 5 minutes.
Top up coolant if necessary.
Close radiator cap.
Run engine for another 5 minutes.
Allow to ool.
Check coolant level.
Top up if neccessary.
