The first thing to check is the water level. If there is a circulation problem or air lock that could cause it. Have you done any work on it recently that would involve draining the rad?. You could have a look at This page (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/tdi-0996.htm) and see if that helps. :)

Hi Goldie
I had the same problem on my 2 litre scorp and it turned out to be the thermostat.

In which case This (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/manual/cooling/TDCoolThermo.pdf) may help. ;)
