It could be one of three things that I know of. ( could be something else as I'm not completely in the know)
1) your thermostat may be faulty
2) your coolant is low
3) you have an air lock
All three are very simple to sort out & you would be able to do this yourself if you have a manual for it. If you don't have a manual & you are not sure how to do it yourself, it won't cost you a lot to take it to a garage & let them sort it for you. It will only take them a minute to sort it & won't cost them much to do so they won't charge you the earth.
Oh & by the way rich, there are probably things that you are totally rubbish at but won't admit it & make yourself feel big & smart by picking up on other peoples shortcomings. How very sad.
So you can spell....That don't impress me much.

No way to tell why that head gasket was replaced, but the cause of overheating is usually the "Thermostat" The Thermostat serves to allow a quick warm up of your engine, by restricting the flow of the water.
If the Thermostat fails to open up, your car will overheat in a very short time.
It is located between the top of the Engine and the Radiator. Some Renault autos have it located within the Upper Radiator hose.
Good Luck,
PS: It is a relatively easy replacement if you have the tool to losen the upper Radiator hose clamps.

You still dont have a clue when asking question either.
Try typing out the question using proper words with capitals and not that stupid chav text speak rubbish. It makes you look like a retard no wonder people keep selling you old bangers.
I know what the problem is and how to fix it, its easy.But I aint telling till you learn to type.

Whatever you do don`t ask your uncle while he is changing the water pump on the Merc., you might make him make a mistake.
