Put a fuel cleaner through it, £3 at ASDA! Clean plugs or replace, whip out air filter for test!!!

Got a link? price?

What about the small pipe from the rad to the header tank? is it blocked? causing it to overheat/over pressurised and dump water out the overflow??

60mph is a common speed to get vibration from unbalanced wheels.

Temp sender need replacing, giving wrong reading??

I would check for warped discs first!

My cortina mk4 engine failed at 80,000 miles, capri around the same. In more recent years I had a couple of rover 420 diesels that covered 260,000 miles and 329,000 miles without a problem. I would say more modern cars last longer as a general rule even though there are bound to be exceptions.

+1 Did this on mine, worked great.

You all are missing one point, it should weigh in for scrap when you are finished for around £350 depending on price per ton offered at your local scrap metal merchant. Find out what your local place is paying per ton, you may get a pleasant surprise.

My window used to come up at an angle, turned out to be a broken regulator bracket. One corner where it is pop riveted had broke away from the rest of the bracket. The regulator bracket is thin and I would assume it flex's a lot until it breaks one day. With this in mind I couldn't see the point...

Quick update, the CD seems to be working now! I used a disc cleaner several times and now it is working, for the time being at least.

Theres something about it here Blending with white spirit? and here http://www.autoinfozone.com/vegoil.html

Please look into this before taking any action. I seem to recall reading you can add 1 tea spoon/ table spoon? of white sprit to act as a anti clogging agent. I could of course be very wrong so as I say look into it!!

I'll keep an eye on this post as my P38 has the same issues. I do find once warm it tends not to do it, so if I stop for five mins and get out of it when I return it works ok.

+1 Got one of these monsters on my 4.6, very quick to spin over, lots of power.

+1 I do the same thing, run a 420 diesel everyday and the 4.6 at the weekends :)

Or if your window doesn't 'line' up square when shut it may be the window motor frame work broke, mine was, took it out and welded it back together.

Most of UK should have plenty on friday!!

Did own a td5 (02 plate) and don't remember it being luke warm, thought it got warm enough. Saying that the P38 RR I have now is warm within 1 minute and gets very hot inside, even on the coldest day, BUT it is the V8 4.6 petrol! Seems the petrol version get hotter in general and warmer quicker...

Will it be the first reliable RR? No engine or suspension problems? :clap2:
