Could be the pump! Check to see if thats working (don't ask me how though), if it's not working then the water in your system wouldn't be flowing arround and therefore would start to 'boil'.

The water/coolant in my KA has always boiled (even after fairly short journeys) since brand new, done 55k in it now. Is this not normal then?0

im deffo no car mecanic, i no where the petrol goes and thats about it,
BUT,i have actually had something like this on cars before, was something to do with air i think, just took of the cap, ran the engine so the water boiled over, (which cleared the air blockage) then topped the water up to the coreect level.
maybe that?0 -
Sounds like it could be the head gasket,have it checked by someone who knows.
There are two sides to every story.
