I had a poke around but couldn't see anything obvious and exhaust looks intact and didn't wobble ...

I know you have had the fuel pump seals done but just for others with the same problem:

Hi Matt & all,

Here's my list for my overheated SORNed Bongo :? :( : (Overheating)

[*] have head tested and skimmed
[*] new head gasket and bolts
[*] new thermostat -DONE
[*] new/replacement header tank
[*] new cambelt and tensioner
[*] lower ball joints
[*] wishbone bushes (probably)

But seriously, I can pretty much turn left out of work and go home, or turn ...
