cool, i reckon i might change the pump and thermostat, getting fed up of doing the coolant, good pun by the way

it comes out in a constant stream, does not really come out at idle, at least it is prob trickling down the side but with a few revs it comes out. down side is after trying to get the thermostat off the rear hex bolt had worn so the socket just spun, any idea's for getting out knackered bolts, i was thinking about one of thoses reverse thread bolt extrackters, how can i tell if the water pump is ok, is it hard to change???

and how long should the fans run for mine go for about 20sec and dont do much to the temp?

what is the carbon can supposed to do?

how long should the fans com on for when the engine is running? mine come on at 90, 100, 110 but only stay on for 15;20secs tops and dont realy seem to bring the heat down????, then is still boils over

hey after trying to change the termostat, one of the three bolts holding it on got ground up, i seemed slightly corroded, anyway i cood not get the bolt of so i could not change the thermostat, any idea's on removing the bolt, it the one at the back that is reccessed back(of course) !! the only thing i could think of was to break the housing off and get some mole grips in there, but i dont really fancy that, also how hot should the bottom hose get,? while my top hose is to hot to hold the bottom one gets dam hot but nothing as hot as the top, i guess its being cooled in the red, so it could make sense, one other thing, when i run the engine with out the expantion cap on, it bubbles over before the fan cuts in, any idea's?

sorry for starting anouther thread, wont happen again,(slapp on wrist).

yes it was the fuel one, i guess that would eplain the faint sell of petrol i had!! thanks

can somebody tell me where the oil temp sensor is, after messing around under the bonnet it is not working now, must have nocked it, thanks

ok so i have changed the cap refilled the system from the top hose and it is still over heating. it seems to circulate ok with the cap of there is a very little drizzel at idle hardly any thing really but once i rev it a little the is a good flow also how hot should the bottom hose get,? while my top hose is to hot to hold the bottom one gets dam hot but nothing as hot as the top, i guess its being cooled in the rad, so it could make sense, one other thing, when i run the engine with out the expantion cap on, it bubbles over before the fan cuts in, any idea's?

tried channging it, the back bolt on the housing is mashed, nore so now, so i could not get it of. any ideas thanks

If the mole grips keep sliping, if you have a dremel drill or some thing grind the bolt so it is square ish then the mole should get a good grip, as h100vw says a bit of heats not a bad idea

it is black and its about 1.5cm diameter, connects from the left hand side of the trottle body to a sensor located at the back of the air box...
