Recently had a 'seriously hot' TD admitted to the 'Tractor Centre' ................. ::)
Here's the usual culprit achilles heel:

Anyway, pump now replaced along with complete cooling system drain/flush/back-flush plus 5 litres of Vx 'red stuff' antifreeze.
After a good ragging around the Valleys, the engine temp constantly sits just above mid-point on the gauge with piping hot heating/demisting and all seems well. Fingers crossed! ;)
My personal recommendation:
Always replace the plastic-impellored BMW water pump with a Unipart metal-impellored jobbie.
Unipart's part number is: UGCGWP2585 and it retails at around 50 quid!
