On some vehicles there isnt a cap for the radiator. If the overflow cap says do not open hot under 15psi or something like that then technically that is your radiator cap. Fill your radiator there

Car runs hot, radiator and condensor has been changed. Temperature gauge

Run the car with the radiator cap off and let it get warm. You should see the coolant flowing through the radiator. If you don't see the coolant flowing, you may have a thermostat that's not opening or less likely, a bad water pump. Also, you ned to make sure that the cooling system is completely full; when you take the radiator cap off that condition will be immediately apparent.

Where is the radiator cap

The newer vehicles don't have radiator caps. There is an over flow resevour next to the radiator, typicaly heater hose size hoses going to and from it. On the top of this there is a overpressure cap that will relieve any extra pressure, this will be where you would refill the system at.

Hope helps (rememnber rated this).

Water comes out of the over flow bottle(i checked the cap)

make sure you dont over fill the radiator bottle past max, something else to try is run the system with out the cap on for a few minutes at idle to expel any air pockets in your cooling system.

Losing water from radiator cap have tried replaceing but problem still there is there diferent caps or is the fault with radiator local garage says no

You should not be losing water from your radiator cap. When the water in your system reaches such a pressure that it needs relief, it will normally flow into the overflow tank (the opposite occurs when the system is cold; water flows from the overflow tank into the radiator).
So, the first thing I would do is to get the proper cap for your radiator.
Second, I would check to make sure my cooling fan was running (I'm assuming that you lose water when the engine is hot).
Third, I would make sure to bleed the system if I had to add a significant amount of water (bleeder should be on top of the fitting that your top hose goes to; loosen and observe until water flows cleanly without bubbles, then close).
I have to think that your cap, new or not, is the problem.
Hope this helps you.
