Peugeot 207 GTI coolant overheat under load only. Why?
Question edited for clarity and remove funky punctuation. 'Advice' is what you are after, I am the one to 'advise'. Easy way to remember.
Anyway, you have an air lock in the cooling system and because of that, the coolant is not circulating properly. I just wrote this tip, follow it carefully and it is important to raise the front of the car a couple of feet.

Vehicle Cooling System? No Heat? Overheating? You have AIRLOCKS.
So you replace the radiator, replace a radiator hose, or flush your radiator and refill the system only to find you have no heat and yet the vehicle is overheating! Why is that?
You have air in the system especially in the heater matrix which is dry of coolant and the water is not cycling and cooling through the radiator. For the cooling system to work it must be full of coolant with no air in there at all. There are videos, but basically, these as the steps.
You remove the radiator cap, as opposed to the reservoir cap.
You elevate the front of the vehicle because the heater matrix is up in the dashboard.
You start the car and put the heating on FULL heat.
Start the car, keep topping up until the cooling fans kick in.
Squeeze the bottom radiator a few times, and rev the engine a few times as it is warming up.
Turn off the engine, and top up one last time.
Put the radiator cap on and top up the reservoir, put the cap back on. Check for leaks.
