had a look around and from what ive read doesnt seem to be head gasket because there is loads of power
possibly thermostat or water pump again ( it looks brand new tho )

are they an easy fit on a scoob as ive never done one myself

Could be air locked in the coolant system,may be worth trying to bleed the system?

Could also be the cap on the header tank mate as some times the seals fail

I'd say it'd be an air lock in the coolant system...

Had the same in mine (apart from I actually had a hole in the radiator) new rad & soon sorted it
