God Damn Car!!

I recently had the rad out and flushed it etc so I dont think its blocked. Also its a custom size to allow a short intercooler pipe run.

I havent seen the car for 3 days now and I'm starting to miss it a bit. Hopefully by the weekend we will have made up

2 hour job to swap a rad?? :? you must have alot of bru & fag braiks! lol

so a custm rad is overheating.. thnk id go back to standard as seems cheapest place to start

Looks like the head gasket may have gone and pressured up the water system and caused the rad to split and leak near the filler. I have decided to go test drive some cars to make sure there nothing else I really fall in love with (hopefully there wont be). If ther isnt I shall give it the full rebuild treatment over the next year. If there is I will sell mine as spares or repairs cheap as I couldnt bring myself to break it.

Did you check the thermostat?

 

[keastygtir]

no I didnt actually, good idea

ok confirmed at the weekend that the headgasket is ok. Looking now for reasons the water pressure would be too high. I did notice however that now the rad has split and leaked the water pressure dosent seem as bad
