Looks like your new thermostat is just a higher temp one. Try putting the old one back in and see what happens. Ten to one the temp is back to normal again.

The thermostat is a round brass(?) 'thinghy' that sits in a rubber in the front of the head. It sits right under that aluminium thing (thermostat housing) where the top radiator hose connects to.

Just drain a wee bit of the coolant, undo the hose clamp, take of the hose, undo the two bolts of the aluminium housing, and you'll find the thermostat looking at ya.

cheers, ben
