pinto overheating problem - cured!!!

I Have recently been an overheating problem on my F27 2l pinto,
thought it was an airlock, timing etc...
found out what it was -
a "missing" bolt on the alternator adjustment bracket, which had made the water pump and alternator belt go slack, water pump wasnt pumping the coolant round and was the reason it was getting hot!!
wish I had found it sooner!!!
all fixed again now!! just been for a blat
two other bolts on the alternator bracket had started to come loose too!! thank heavens for threadlock!!!
go and check your nuts!!!!
