  1. I will ask my m8 what he had on is C which was set up realy good and they dident leek at all solid as a rock...
  2. Well after getting a new expansion tank cap and the top pice of the rad, I put all the new bits on and back filled the system which was fine when filling it up. Now my problem is when I screwed the new top part of the rad on and let the water flush throught the system. I noticed that the water was just streaming out around the two flat joins????? Can’t work it out as I tried the new washer that seals the two parts and the old one but no difference???? Surly it cant just be this little washer stopping the water from coming out??? Surly there should be a gasket of some kind between the two plastic pieces?? This is a long shot but after getting it back from the body shop im thinking that they might have had the rad out to fix the car and didn’t fit it back together properly causing the problem as It has never caused me a problem befor they had it??? Ummm any thoughts guys as im abit lost now on this one…… :D
  3. dr mat - "But you didn't lose any no-claims, did you? " no i dident, as you said it is the "involved" thing that they look at... so much for it going down when i turned 25 this year ummmm.

  9. dr mat Do you mean undo the rad cap and fill the system up sorry for my Ignorance, new to me this one :D
  10. looks cool m8 like the weels, ive never seen a girl as a back support tho befor lol
  11. kevhaywire ""I reckon you've introduced an airlock or the thermostat is seizing."" Could well be, i had that on another car that will be my next thing to do tx :D
  12. Henny ""Quick thing to check: with the system slightly pressurised, carefully take the lid off the expansion tank and see if it smells of exhaust gas or if there's a mayo style residue in there... if it does/has, you've got a leaky head gasket... The expansion tank cap should only release pressure when the system has SERIOUSLY over pressured... old rubber pipes WILL split before it reaches that point... when you fitted the new pipe, how did you fill the system back up with coolant? The correct way is to remove one end of the radiator top hose and fill it via that rather than just plonking it in via the expansion tank... this will avoid air locks... I know what you mean about the top part of the rad, mine split as well and caused all sorts of problems when it went... "" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Henny There was no "smells of exhaust gas or if there's a mayo style residue in there" whic could be a good thing not to be the head When i fitted the new pipe the system filled up fine went straight through even throught the expantion tank without removing the other end of the hose ( will try that tonight tho m8 tx). All the fan's came on when the system heated up to temp, thats when i noticed you couldent push the hose in rock hard....??....??
  13. Well as most of you may be aware I was after a cooler hose from the top of the rad, well I got one at 89 inc V.A.T!!!!!. I put it on worked fine apart from a massive build up of pressure in the hose!, you couldn’t push it was rock solid. Also I noticed a crack on the connecter where the pipe joined the rad…?….(easy to fix with new part). The temp light keep flashing again but wasn’t when we filled it up again then steam started Cumming out of the crack possibly causing light to come on again. Now I might be wrong but it could be the head gaskets yet I had them done about 6 months ago so I guess, I haven’t had any blue smoke nor white gunk. It could be a number of things like :- A) Cooler bottle cap not releasing the pressure correctly. B) Blocked rad possibly (but I would have noticed that earlier I guess) C) Head gasket’s gone again. Any help would be nice on this one, I have ordered a new cooler bottle cap and the top part of the rad……so this might work but I might be totally wrong… The car has had wicked timing as I was on my way to get my windscreen done for the MOT, which is now up as I didn’t make it because of the leek so its all go around here. :D
  14. well mine is going to be cheep for a while as it is going to be off the road for ages as i have a problem with presure in the pipes..... aaaarrrrrr

  18. Well after this incident I thought my luck might change!!!! Think again phil someone up there is saying!!!!. I was on my way into Brighton as I was dropping my C off for a new windscreen as I have a massive crack after the garage got hold of my C… any way I was about ¼ mile away from the auto glass shop and my main hose from the engine block to the rad & bottle decided to blow off and crack its self!!!… could not believe it just my luck didn’t even make it to the auto glass shop just got towed away!!! Back to my house, How much are the hoses ????? plus I hope I caught it just right as it was not that hot I hope so no other damage will be done…. Who was the guy in the storm in the same traffic jam very nice number plate **storm nice little grin you gave me lol…… :mad: :mad:
