sounds possibly like Thermo stat has failed. Should be easy job to remove thermo stat housing and have a look. if my memory serves it should be a complete unit, if yours is in pieces or has bits missing would advise getting a new one.
Similar symptons could be the car very quickly overheats and can boil the fluid away in a very short amount of time.
if thermo stat is okay could be blocked rad, would have to check circulation before ruling out water pump.
