Just had the car serviced and all seemed o.k. but now seems to overheat. Warming up from cold, display gets to 92c, lots of gurgling and water boils from filler cap. Fans don't come on and fuses look o.k. Could there be a cable not connected or is it the stat. and where is it fitted ?.

From your descrption is sounds like it's not overheating - you've just got too much water in! I was filling mine up so the coolant was halfway up the horizontal pipe where you fill it - and it was doing the same as yours. I discovered that as long as the bottom of the tube is just covered with coolant, it doesn't lose anything.
