Hi there,

You need to determine the cause of the over heating, replace the thermostat, clean the radiator, have the cooling system pressure tested for leaks and get the pressure cap tested, get a head check done, this is a simple chemical test for exhaust gasses in the cooling system, if so this will be a head gasket problem.
