Hi Landyzonians
My beloved l322 4.4 v8 has got my stressed again.
It all started will a burst expansion tank!!:( then after change of expansion tank a day later there was overheating when my sister took the car out she managed to get it back to hers with great patience, then i picked up car 4 days later no overheat whatsoever hard reving tick over hard drive cruise sitting in traffic or at the lights?!! Despite all that, i fitted brand new champion radiator new behr oil cooler and behr oil cooler thermostat, ( with the help of the amazing Saint V8's video and how to write up ) filled up with about 14 litres of coolant /distilled water. Drove the car round for a few days dad took it to St albans m25 and back to enfield no probs i drove it around town etc no probs but the today got half way to Heathrow to pick my sister up and the temp rose 3/4 and jept going back down to half then stayed there then went back up 3/4 never over then when siting in traffic it went back to normal for bout 5 mins then rose to 3/4. It would suddenly just jump from 3/4 to 1/2 like someone opened a floodgate in the engine lol. Suspect themostat?? Any help guys?:)
