after the car has been running a while, do you get any hot air when you put the heater blower on?

it could well be the water pump, or an air lock!

however it does sound like the symptons of a headgasket failure!

yup plenty of hot air comes out.The headgasket has just been replaced couple daes ago along with the head being skim planed. checkde thermostat drove it without it and it still overeaheated. Theres no water in the oil etc. as for the water pump took it off 2dae and clean as a whistle. can be driven for bowt 30 ks if im lucky n then thats it gets 2 hot n i dont wana blow it. fan kicks in when it should etc. when i start it cold there is alot of condenstation and white mist coming out. and notice that when engine runs and u have radiator there air bubbles,and white scum/foam coming up if i fill it up the water level goes down.
