I have 99 Jaguar XJ8,and while I was driving, the lower radiator hose just popped out from its socket, even though the clamp holding it was fully tight, and all of the coolant spilled out. I have also had to change the upper radiator hose a couple months back because it busted do to overheating. Also the fuse to the radiator fan also went out recently..so I had to change that too.
My car is overheating within 15-20 mins of driving time, whats the problem?
usually when a car overheats, for whatever reason, the thermostat sticks closed, or almost closed. If your fan stopped cooling, that would cause the car to get hot enough to ruin the thermostat. one easy way to tell is to let the car get cold. Remove the radiator cap (slowly to be safe), make sure the radiator is full of coolant/water, then start the car. in about 10-15 minutes tops, if the thermostat is bad, the water will start backing up and boiling out of the radiator. If it does, shut it down and get it replaced.

radiator cap or thermostat.
just take it to a mechanic. trying to fix it yourself could end up costing you more in the long run
Check the thermostat and bleed the system.
get the thermostat checked...mine was doing that so i took the thermostat out and it fixed it. i didn't have enough money for a new one so i just took it out. you'll prolly just wanna get a new one.
i have no idea for sure but...
1. could be clogged inside the motor.
2. too much fluid.
3. wrong parts.
take it to a mechanic
Sounds like your thermostat is stuck or opening slowly.change that and see.
You need a new car %26amp; that will fix all your problems!!
