When the engine is cold (COLD) take the cap off the overflow bottle and fill it to the brim, start the car and see if it gushes out or there are any bubbles, if you see this then your probably up for a headgasket!

All guys,
This is a rather common problem with the type of cooling systems the falcons have,, Replace the Thermostat Replace the Radiator cap, a common fault people mate is failure to remove air from the system, once you fill the system remove the hose from the thermostat housing and let the air out, Hope this helps
