have the thermostat and pump been checked? Take the stat out and stick it in boiling water to see if it opens. If it does then refill with water without the stat in and then see if you have circulation. If you dont its likely the pump impellers are damaged.
If the stat doesnt open then replace it

you can but you will need some tools. Its pretty easy. its located at the bottom of the cam cover on the nearside under an aliminium housing. You'll find the rubber radiator hose connected to the housing. I believe it has two 10mm bolts(maybe three).
