Radiator replaced now 2004 xj8 overheats
Alright here is the story this is my mother's car the radiator was cracked so she had it replaced now the engine overheats after about 5 to 10 minutes of driving. I have replaced the water pump and the thermostat housing. Inside the water pump the impellers looked just fine and it spun freely, Aldi with the thermostat housing nothing was broken and the thermostat opened and closed just fine so now I am stuck, I know there is a second small aux pump could that be the problem?

There's a vent screw on top of the expansion tank that should be removed for filling. That's its exact purpose... to allow air to escape as coolant is added. Add coolant to somewhere between the MIN and MAX posts visible under the pressure cap.
Do not run the engine with that screw removed, you'll just pump coolant out of the car.
