well firstly my engine is over fueling, i get about 250-300kms a tank!
secondly, the only "work" ive done is drain and refill the cooling system then bleed the cooling system, and that was done a couple weeks ago and it was "fine" after that.
i must also add that my car has been running hot of late (so i havent driven it much at all lately and if so not far enough to let it get hot).
themostat works
radiator is fine
looking at getting a new water pump now as it looks like the water flow in my rad is not really good
any ideas?
i dont want to do anything further and possibly damage my engine...

if you are running a dicktator check your red wire thats in your harnes that plugs into your managment its a bit thick if im noy mistaken and also you need to check if your map on your managment is still ok heating up can be caused by timing hence i say have your map checked.
