Replaced Thermostat Housing - Engine Overheating Still
06 LR3 - Thermostat housing had a hole in it. I replaced the entire part with a new one that came with a factory installed new thermostat. The install went fine, however I had a very hard time getting the cooling lines to preasurize once up and running. I ended up taking it to a shop and had the system flushed. Drove fine for one day, then started overheating again. Also my heater doesn't get hot. I can smell hot coolant but nothing is leaking.
Any help is appreciated.

Yeah, I'm concerened that there could be some kind of blockage. I have a steady stream of coolant returning to my reservior, so If I do, it's not a complete blockage, but I do experience some overheating spikes. I have no engine light indicators or errors. The vehicle is running fine. (other than overheating) which I can return the tempature to normal by blasting the heater, but the heater doesn't blow hot air.
I get to and from work ok, but I'm affraid to drive it any further for fear of damage.
