Well new rad cap didnt work, a bottle of radweld however seems to have done the trick! I now get a nice hiss when I open the expansion tank with a hot engine!
I had the brainstorm of opening the plastic plug on top of the thermostat housing to try and bleed the air out,
Yes but I took the plug out with it running, still taste antifreeze and its not nice. The upshot is its not leaking!
bloody cars, i would get a pre-heater system but there far to expensive!!
from cold, take off the expansion tank cap, start the engine. if you see bubbles, its likely your head gasket has gone
I tried it first thing this morning with the cap off. There was bubbles coming from the little pipe that comes from the thermostat housing. There is still an air lock as heaters are still cold. I figure the bubbles could be air escaping. Its not a lot and the tank remains about 3/4 full even with the lid off. At least it isn't leaking! Just wish me heater would work!
I have a genuine LR manual (1995 model year on, ©1996), that I don't need any more. Make me an offer (I think it cost about sixty squids but postage plus a bit and it's yours)Haynes book is a waste of space might as well use as a door stop.
