You mean main pump? Not the aux? Cheers for your help -

When i was running the engine upto temp with expansion cap off, there was flow into header tank, but it wasnt alot, not worked on vr6 before but it didnt look enough, if you get what i mean? When the t stat opened it started to boil over and so obviously i put cap back on, does this sound normal? You think there could be lack of flow aroind system? -

Top and bottom rad hoses are getting hot, initiallY just the feed to the matrix was getting hot, but after numerous attempts to remove airlock, the return side would get warm but nowhere near as hot. I havent dismantled aux pump because i didnt want to drop coolant everywhere! But to the touch it deffo moving, i suspected blades were mullered and therefore not dragging coolant through matrix thoroughly? That sound plausible? Thanks for all your help! -

As in title, i cant get effective demisting heat from the matrix! Have replaced the matrix and still nothing until the engine is upto temperature, but even then if the car is idling it will go cold again, thought it was airlock to begin with but have done everything to shift it! It only seems to push any sort of heat out if he car is above 3k and fully warmed up, could this be that aux water pump is shot? I have tested it according to bentley and there seems to be life there but no real heat coming out, have checked all flaps, recently changed t stat and all sensors please help me i cant see anything in the mornings!!! Thankyou in advance, any help greatly appreciated -
Hello, as in title very very cold start this morning, rear brakes are engaged couldn this be down to water ingress into brake fluid causing it to freeze up a bit, OR also the hand brake doesnt engage so is it that the handbrake cable has frozen into place... Any help would be greatly appreciated! driving in icy conditions with brakes engaged is uncontrollable as i found out this mornong

Want to try and keep it really tidy, was thinking of a fibreglass housing built into one of the sides, i should imagine on the back of the seat its a bit messy with power cables and speaker cables etc, photo would be lovely. Cheers again
