Was the system bled of air properly after the new pump was fitted?
Why was the pump changed originally? Were the engine and radiator back flushed?
Are you losing any water? Is there any "mayonnaise" in the rocker cover when you remove the oil filler cap? There's a possibility that the head gasket or cylinder head itself might be faulty.

As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Thermostat that won't open?
no idea what this is like on the Xsara, but would have though an easy and cheap item to change.
