right, breif history..
Picked up a 94' disco tdi 300 for my business to collect/deliver cars to my bodyshop. Drove the disco away and everything seemed fine for 100 or so miles, then got to the m6 toll booth and as i pulled out notised the temp shoot way up to the red, so stopped, popped the bonnet and water had come out of the expansion cap, let it cool put more water in, set off, same again, heater blowing hot then cold then hot, if i left it idling it would remain cool, but as soon as i increased the revs (motorway) it went sky high again. Bought a new expansion tank cap and thermostat and filled and bled the system, but dont seem to be able to bleed it fully, any suggestions? Also when it was getting hot i was getting a ticking kinda noise as the revs increased, but only under load? Big/little ends maybe?
