Fertiliser bag would do me, have used a tool roll from pound land In the past. Cheers.

Used to use a rad muff on my one ten before I sold it. Can't get one for this except for stupid money. Will I think investigate rad muff before anything else. Thanks for all replies.

Just ran it now with warmer weather got up to normal and sat there. That is still with a drilled stat mind you. Interested In dodgy batch of stats could I be that unlucky on the fourth one. Got em from main dealer not landrover made but branded and not Brit part. Radiator 47 degrees top 37...

Well I figured if water was not getting through enlarge hole on thermostat to allow flow. This worked and now radiator warm across whole panel and temp running at just above cold. Gets warmer if I block off rad. Goes back t o cold rad overly hot slightly pressurised top pipe with non drilled...

Block flushed, more than once both ways and heater matrix all ran clean. It really has got me stumped except for maybe an over efficient rad. Electric fan does sound like a consideration.

Cardiff here.

Cow bridge vale 4x4 and auto craft down by Mandy pool. Those are the two I use. PM me for number if needed.

Additional note if it was an airlock why does drilled thermostat cure problem of circulation?

I don,t think so I have filled it from rad, heater matrix, head and always get the same thing which is why I was thinking over efficient cooling affecting thermostat from below. I have filled it on ramps at angle and tried it without heater matrix plumbed in. This is a second engine as I thought...

Good idea might try it without the fan.Thanks for that. I will do the swivels next and then revisit this.

Yes new pump, X 4 thermostats, with heater matrix attached, bypassed, frost, sunshine, dog in the garden, cat on the fence. Only circulates if radiator totally blocked off with a piece of carpet or thermostat drilled. I can only conclude new rad is over cooling and affecting thermostat. I have...

Has any one bought a new radiator for a series and how did it perform. I bought one (aluminium) not 3 core and it is over cooling. Runs a little warmer with a drilled thermostat. In essence the problem is that temp goes up to near red but water is so cold in return it will not let thermostat...

Had similar issue checked around roof and gap between panels where water exits gutter slight gap, nothing really, dum dum putty in case, now all dry. l could not believe that little gap let n so much water that I got wet in cab as did passenger.

Hello all I am formerly parts wanted but can't log in under that, site does not recognise me any more! So from now on I am not very tecnical. Both Monica's are truisms. Sold one ten and now concentrating on series 3 cheaper me thinks. So hello again everyone.
