R1 cut out and overheating

Hi all.Basically after a run down the coast and back home 40 odd mile the expansion tank in the car started spewing coolant all over.I don't have a working temp gauge as it's not wired in.As far as the fan kicking in not sure as the exhaust is too noisy to hear.
Also yesterday the car spluttered to a halt and wouldn't start until about 15 mins later when the engine had cooled down.
Any ideas.....thermostat
Water pump
Head gasket????
The engine is a 4xv.The expansion tank is spherical plastic with a blue cap??
Hope this enough info.
