Not able to help on this but I'm sure one of our experts will be along to give some advice either later (although bit late now) or tomorrow. Don't despair! ;)

Not an expert but when you say your water pump went, do you mean it was simply leaking or did it brake up(pump blades).

 When the system has cooled down try removing the header tank cap and running the engine up to temperature whilst squeezing the hoses to make sure you have dispelled all the air in the system :).

           HTH,
                 Pete.

Mate,

dont wait for the worse to happen. Just do a full flush of the cooling system and get out all the gunk. Then fill up again using a 50-50 of VX genuine red coolant and water.

I think this might help you out. Your normal temp should sit in just below the middle of the gauge and your fans should kick in at around 92 deg. By the way, are the fans kicking in?

Cheers

Its a 2.5 so should run about 95 anyway...but as said flush the system, constant overheating will lead to HG failure so get it sorted soon and dont use it till it is (if at all possible) :y

I'll be passing High Wycome on the 20th and can help out with a cam locking kit.

The concern here is that when the aux belt shredded something got trapped in the cam belt causing it to jump a few teeth or more.

Until you are absoutely certain the cam timing is ok - don't run it
