I have a Rover 12 tourer and when I got it it overheated at the drop of a hat (never mind a flag!) Investigation showed no thermostat! This caused exactlly the situation of water going through too fast. New stat fitted - problem solved (until the radiator clogged up near solid with crud when I really started using the car! Then a new core fixed it permanently (I hope!) It has a water pump....and flushed waterways.
