    Sounds like the radiator cup is not working or the water is overheating.


    Are the radiator fans in front of the rear wheels coming on when the car is just idling and the temperature climbs?

    Check your temp sensor, sounds like it might have failed, and not bring on the radiator fans. Or you thermostat isn't opening soon enough.

    And never open the radiator cap hot.......of course it will boil out....

    You passed the MOT inspection?

    Slow down and use a little punctuation.
