No I'm in Scotland pal... And only drive about 2 mile to work each night.!!, got car a few weeks ago and found bottle of rad weld in back seat.!!, but thot hey ho if it needs a radiator so be it etc... But temp stays at 90 n blows hot air etc... Doesn't lose water !!, but boiling in reservoir... what u think is wrong.??
Sounds like it's not holding it's pressure (hence the coolant boils at a lower temperature). So first thing I'd do is get it pressure tested, which in itself would expose any weak points.
Stupid question... what colours the coolant? Eg has the previous owner used one of the red/pink/purple coolants and not blue. And also is it the right mix (does it look watery).
