confused

2000 lpg 4.6 was overheating,,, its been as good as gold for 3 weeks after adding a ceramic sealer and renewing thermostat bleeding system etc etc so decided to take her for a run last night.. done about 60 miles and the temp gauge went up and then straight back down ? drove another 15 miles stopped and checked the coolant levels and all was fine.. carried on for another 50-60 miles then stopped and refuelled with gas.. drove about 1/2 mile and she over heated this time she was boiling in the expansion tank.. refilled and carried on... on way home she did again only hadnt needed to refuel this time.. the needle suddenly shoots up theres no steady climb in the temp. again she was boiling in the tank. filled her up (water) again and drove off. the temp needle danced around for a little while then all was fine. this seems to be an intermitant fault, shes been fine around town with the odd 20 mile run for several hundred miles..:doh:

please help the wifes starting to wave a box of matches at my rangie!!!!!

No

easy job,logical with a few tools.when removeing bolts put them through a piece of cardboard in the pattern cos them is all different sizes.Easier to put back right.
clean it up too for new gasket.

presume then its just take out old one and put newish one in... sorry not the best with spanners... but cant afford to go to the stealership. anyone know what they cost and where the best place around north devon to get one

cheers people

get a new one, 40 quids or so i think.I may have one here ill look.New belt too.False economy to fit used.
