Give it a simple radiator flush might be some gunk in the radiator. Check the thermostat, it might not be opening. Make sure your fan is comming on, my fuse came loose and stopped my fan from comming on. Check the simple things first.

That's like saying "I have the flu, tell me who i caught it off".

Could be a number of things mate, are you losing coolant at all? Does it overheat when idling or when accelerating.

Give us some "symptoms"

Turn the heaters on to the hottest setting before you fill your radiator so you dont get air lock in the cooling system then run your engine for a minute or two with the radiator cap on and then loosen your bleed nipples to let any trapped air out then tighten them up again and it should be right.
