rh71 is on a distinguished road
Just had my water pump fail and the telltale sign for me was the radiator fan went into overdrive (even immediately after a cold start) and it was extremely loud. The thermostat was checked out ok and read the high temp properly. Maybe it's your thermostat on the fritz. Do you hear the radiator fan operating normally at all?
