need help on my overheating car

[Seph]

Last night the heat stopped working and then the car started getting hot. Is this the thermostat gone bad?

While it is possible that the loss of heat and overheating are unrelated, the odds are that both are caused by air in the cooling system. In the absence of recent cooling system work that usually means a failed head gasket.

Fixed mah car! The thermostat was stuck open.. replaced it and bled the air out and all is well again :)
