if you think its a circulation problem. take the thermostat out and try running it.
if its temp related could be a sensor or an air leak when the metal expands.

Ok thanks where is the thermostat/heat sensor cant seem to find any engine diagrams etc for the seicento
Just below the coil packs!

The water pump is driven by the camshaft toothed belt. It is forward of the alternator and higher up than the alternator.
Could be you rad is blocked, simplest to remove it and have it flow checked.

Ok thanks for the advice will do that today
Checked rad today gets hot,,heater in the car works fines,,so maybe pump is ok
Re: think i solved it
I think i solved the problen although its early days,,i was convinced it was a heat problem and i noticed the 2 plugs that plug into the top part where the HT leads run into the plastic protection cover had broken off both of the 2 cables about 3 inches missing on each one....so i insulated these 2 cables on the parts that was exposed and since then havent had any trouble,,,,but uts only been 2 days driving without incendent is it possible that theses cables got hot and caused the malfunction
