From what you say , you have had probs . with cooling system i.e heater and thermostat.Looks as if it hasn't been solved and is ongoing.Many possiblilities , like fan not cutting in , radiator etc. etc..Another cause could be head gasket which would pressurise system and then cause air locks affecting heater . A sniff test will verify if there is any probs. , simple test .
