Whilst I tend to agree with the head gasket diagnosis of others there is another possibility - a blocked radiator - either internally blocked or the exterior full of mud/leaves.

I recently had an overheating problem with the V8 that gave similar symptoms to those you describe and a replacement rad cured it :-)

I'd get it sniff tested before lifting the head.

Range Rover Blues:
A classic head gasket failure would cause the water to "spit" out in lumps whilst the engine idled.
