Possibly a blown head gasket. Take off the radiator cap and run the engine--are there any bubbles coming up in the coolant? Check the exhaust pipe--is it steamy or does it smell like anti-freeze?
Testimonial: "thank you"
I'd agree about the thermostat being the most likely cause. Pitty the workshop didn't look at the most likely cause before giving the bill for new radiators! Regards Johngee
