This is the story so far:
Gauge shot up, appeared to be overheating. New thermostat fitted. Couple of wires were looking dodgy so temporarily insulated with tape (as a safegaurd). No oil in water and vice versa. Owner drove away and then(Quote)

sat happily at halfway for about 3/4 of a mile, then red
light flashed and needle shot up - seemed to come down when i whacked
the heating on full, but that could have just been a coincidence...!
no steam coming out of anywhere as far as i could tell, but really
want to get to the bottom of this!

Any advice greatly appreciated

wasn't bled properly, heater needs to be on when refilling the cooling circuit, common airlock problem, check bled out should be right.
