You have a leak, or a bad headgasket.

Where is the head gasket located? Does it require the attention of an auto mechanic to replace it?
I have similar case, I have a complete Bosch toolbox

I have replaced the gasket, but the problem persists. These road side mechanics advised that I remove the thermostat but knowing fully well what thermostat does in a car, I stood my ground dat I wouldn't. I don't know wot to do again. I thought of replacing d radiator but there was no leak anywhere. A friend later told me to get a double cell radiator. Pls wot shud I do?

There is is a leak in ur cooling system ,u will need to go for cooling system leak test in a reputable mechanic outlet.This test will bring out any leak in a cooling system however small it might be.
N.B:Word of advice :If u dont want ur engine to die a slow death ,dont ever remove ur thermostat or run ur fan direct .

Remove your thermostat (yeah I said it). Test your vehicle for a day or 2, if it does not overheat, get a new thermostat (follow instructions o!).

It could also be your radiator, this is a pic of what was in a clients radiator when it was opened.

The car in question only overheated on the highway at speeds above 100km/ph

No leak, changed head gasket but problem persisted until I checked radiator.
