I would check the coolant level first. Then I'd replace the thermostat and radiator cap with OEM parts. At least this way several basic things can be ruled out immediately and it can't hurt to have new ones even if they are not the problem. The corresponding numbers of the Celsius guage are 80 and 120, with the unmarked line between the two being 100, I'm assuming.
