I have bought this W reg Puma
It had just had the water pump replaced and the HCV
At idle it's fine but when running gets very warm and sometimes having the heater on full isn't enough
This video is from today. I ran it from cold at around 3000 revs thinking the fan would come on. Only when i loosened the cap did the fan come on. I left it at idle and this is what it was doing for quite a while. The heater was on full.

The heater pipes are jumping and slightly odd sound coming from them
Eventually the fan turned off and the coolant dropped
There seems to be no pressure in the big hose to the side of the engine although sometimes it gets hot
After this i went for a drive and pretty soon it got hot. When i came back i took the cap right off and the coolant was high and occasionally bubbling over. It would then drop. Then build up again. the fan didn't go off
So the water pump is new as is the HCV. I don't mind leaving it for hours with the cap off and running if that what it needs
Help?
