thermostat stuck? rad blocked? coolant piping wrong? water pump faulty i.e leaking or not driving water round engine?

removed the thermostat and still doing the same, radiator not blocked and all pipes checked and in the right place. water pump is the next thing i will check. only thing is in the autodata says it 2.3 hours to remove :(
