hey guys and girls... had a spot of bother yesterday the car wouldnt start. i have a PUNTO 1.6 sporting. its been laid up for over 12 months. I managed to get it started but i have noticed that the car is now overheating.
i think this is possibly because of the water pump.

*the temp rises but water stays cool..
*i cant see any loss of oil (maybe possible the head may have gone.) (HOPE NOT"")
*i bypassed fan to see if its working.. i also left the car run hot b4 i activated the fan.. ( temp still rises ) i think the problem points towards the pump or maybe a air lock..

*water levels are ok!
*oil levels are ok!
*slight missfire but that is due to plugs*

what would you think ?
what are the most common faults with overheating on a punto??

any suggestions on this would be extremly greatful..
