after trying and trying to bleadthe coolent system i think i have finaly cracked it (not the head)

got it to stay just above halfway now just needs a good blat down the m4 to sort it out like last time

lets hope so anyways

Hope so mate!

I did the same to the Sport, it was sweet as for 90miles, then the hot blower air went cold again and whoosh went the gauge.

Hope yours is ok.

I hope so too Richy!

Like Dave, this all sounds familiar when I picked up the breaker from Worthing, it was overheating constantly, but get it on the motorway it would stay at about halfway, as soon as I slowed down, the guage would shoot up...good luck!

Its not a dodgy viscous coupling is it?

Post Wed Jun 01, 2005 12:46 pm

stays just above halfway no matter waht now but id like it on the line like it was
only way i got it like that after i changed the rad was to blast it up the a449 and she was sweet as untill weekend when she worked a bit to hard.

Bit of luck it be ok
