How to know waterpump pumping? Is it like the power steering where you see it flowing in the container?
fan works but not sure if its taking enough air in.
Coolant has no rainbowing.
Ill check the oil. Got hungry and went to order in the bar. Very nice town im in. Lots of babes waking dogs.
Thanks

You likely didn't see my post before you last posted. I think your hose temp analysis likely confirms what I suggested.

There are 2 reasons that the thermostat is blocking coolant flow:
#1: a failed thermostat or
#2: a failed waterpump that doesn't flow enough pressure to open a normally-working thermostat. This is from 26-2-10 in the workshop manual: http://landroverresource.com/docs/D2...hop_Manual.pdf
You can bypass the thermostat to temporarily get yourself home if you've got or can obtain coolant hose that will fit, or you can replace the thermostat if a spare is available...or you can punch a hole in it...or even remove it if you've got a way to reseal that thermostat casing.
If you still overheat with a bypassed/new/or punched out thermostat, then the water pump is probably something you want to investigate next.
