Ours did exactly the same last year at manby, I took the rad out and cleaned it with a hose, there was loads of **** came out, some of it like fired clay!!  Didint help the over heating, the rad looked the same as it did before I played in the mud, ie, some poor fins but no worse.
After that it only overheated if I went over 50mph.

I fitted a new rad and it solved it!

have ya checked the viscous fan ,sometimes these fail to work properly once subjected to a dunking ,also check it running without the expansion cap on and see if it's bubbling in there

thx Jav.

Hi friutloop I had an overheating problem on the way back for Eastnor, towing caravan up cold slad, but not due to mud running possibly the viscous fan.  I thought I would add this as this had not been mentioned yet.
