We have just had same probs and thermostat been changed. Took radiator in shop to be checked and there was a small hairline size crack in top tank of radiator. All fixed now just have to put back in and re test but should be ok. But sound like u had same probs with hot and cold hoses.

i changes out the rad, t-stat, temp senor, rad cap and the car still over heating, what else can i do or look for?

not too sure we have been told may have blown head gasket at the worst but when we put radiator back in will let ya know how it goes if not radiator then maybe changing waterpump as sometimes the fins in them can wear out. But if not that then maybe blown head gasket. But will try our radiator 1st as it was split so may be all it is. thanks

Hi guys just letting you know that our legend is up and running back like a dream now that have radiator fixed. It was a small hairline crack in top tank of radiator that was causing it to overheat. She seems to be working fine now. It was overheating and top hose was always hot and bottom one stone cold so water wasnt circulating and was filling up reservoir bottle everytime but all good now hope this may help someone
