Air lock in the coolant system. Drain it give it a good 50/50 mix of water and winter coolant then bleed the system. Plenty of guides on how to bleed the air out if you have a search.

there's your problem then mate not being bled properly you need to re bleed it with all bleed nipples open until no more air comes out. there is one at the back of the engine on the plastic pipe one on top of the thermostat housing and another but not sure where the other is.

The water is not circulating the engine, so the coolant is not dragging away engine heat to the rad to be cooled, I think lol
