I think its only the larger of the two hoses that gets flooded - the littlun doesnt seemt o have much coming out of it when the pump is operating. We just need to stop so much getting forced up into there as simply as possible - that's my theory.
Will.
Could clamp it, see what happens? HGF
I cant see why HGF, if the main cooling system is full of water and is cooled.

Never know it might work. But where would all that expanded coolant go? That pressure's gotta go somewhere.

Cos it's pumping water into it it stands to reason that it's pumping air somewhere else? Possibly causing localised hotspots and shoving more out?

Entirely plausible, that big old air bubbles gets shoved into the rad via the small bleeed hose I reckon.
Alright, why do't we get another feed hose and fit a manifold to it and experiment with different restriction rates or total restriction. Not too expensive.
lots of motors use a sealed system, with just an expansion tank, rather than the complicated convoluted system in the Hippoo, but I aint a Thermo-Dynamicist. It is very much trial and error, with yu carrying the can

Surely you jest good Sir? Whoever designed the whole cooling system needs to go back to school.

Could be right. I think we should clamp the hose and run it up to temp and see what happens first - we need to be sure which hose is the problem one. But yes I think that's one solution for sure.
top of radiator - pipe is already there ?
but make sure it goes into bottom of top up tank. Cant see from the diagram where the two small hoses go?
