I'm with nick on this, open it up hope the gasket looks goosed stick a new one in and hope, mines over heating an think its the rad. As I can see its full of mud but when I wash it it develops holes.
 
Decided to have a bash at the hg once i get her home from Donny ...... Any volunteers ? Figure take it to bits and see what's busted if its ####ed ill break it if it looks repairable ill get it sorted ..... Gonna be fixing the fender up this month too its ****ing me off seeing it sat there lol

usually t'other way round.
top should be hotter as its the input into rad.
bottoms return from rad to engine an should be cooler.

are the heaters blowing hot when set to hot? (ok, as hot as a fender heater can blow!)
 
Might got it the wrong way round. Yes blower as hot as normal, whacked that on to try n cool it down a bit. Sure the one from the pump side was a tad warmer tho. How do.I check pump flow?

difficult without a lot of ****ing around altering pipework to enable the flow to be seen exiting the pump and entering a funnel to go back into rad.
if the heaters chucking hot air out then a reasonable assumption is the pump is circulating water.
whats the condition of the rad? plenty of cooling fins on outside, not crudded up with debris or mud, and how old is it? older rads have a tendancy to silt up with crud internally restricting flow. feel surface area of rad when engine warm, your looking for cooler / hotter spots. it should be pretty much the same all over.
edit-
also if heaters are ok, then hg is probably ok. when system pressurises due to hgf or head failure, the heater usually fill up with gasses causing cold air when set to hot.

I'll give it a check tomorrow.
shouldnt be mucked up, only done road since I last gave it a good jetwash, will have a look at fins and whip the grill off to heat check tomorrow,
AFAIK the rads the original, so 16 years :)
 
Cheers m8, just been pricing up and seen them, recommendation is always good :)

gotta job to do this evening with the fender, so will check it out, but am suspecting you are right, ahh well, at least it will have a noo rad :)
