Overheating

Hi
I recently bought a 2.8i on an E plate (not a brooklands).. it had been standing fr 4 years and finally got the owner to part with it, its in good condition and runs smoothly etc but whenever i leave it running the temp gauge flys up. I have flushed the radiator, moved the expansion so its now level with the radiator as before it was sitting lower. the viscous fan is working but i dont know if its running too slowly or not and worried that it might be a head gasket gone.. does anyone have any tips/ tricks as i really want to drive it but cant go far when there is a problem like this ????
Cheers
