VTR (overheating & Fuel smell?)

[sean19]

I have two issues with my Saxo VTR 2000 plate only 45,000.

1) It constantly runs above norm temp even though its got a new head,new rad and has been flushed out, AND the water pump has been checked!

2) There is now a very strong smell of fuel with no obvious leaks.

Are these common issues or have i bought a shed?

Thanks for ANY info
