Hello again everyone, so now i have sorted my overheating issue, by installing a new LPG vaporiser. But now i have an isue with the car starting. It take 5 or 6 seconds of turning over before it fires up. Then it runs fine. This issue started the day my new vaporiser was fitted so i thought it...

sorry again guy but should i have the water draining out through the drain plug or out the top hose? Just about to get started! Jus trying to set thing up so i dont flood the neighbours garden! AGAIN!!! :darth_vader:

Where did have the water draining from? The top hose or drain plug under engine? Sorry about all the questions but just wanna do it right!

and do this with engine running? where will water come out?

radiator bottom hose do you mean?

how do i go about flushing out the engine waterways?

Is there a test i can do on the rad to check? Stick a hose on one end kinda thing? Running out of money with all my repairs to this car. What if i stick to normal heater use and see if i get any changes? How much is a rad nowadays?

most cars i have driven you can see slight changes on the temp guage. Like towing it increases slightly, 70mph on motorway on a cold night the guage goes down, stuck in traffic on a hot day slight increase etc. The cooling system passed a high pressure test and the bleeding nipple going back...

right guys i got the vaporiser changed today and now running on lpg without any overheating issues. My point is! If you have lpg on your p38 and are having overheating/loss of coolant issues, check out your vaporiser before booking a new head gasket session. Its easy to diagnose. I just...

Gavbriggs what do u suggest! I towed the boat again today and everything was fine! So the LPG is the cause! I'm sure of it now! I'm going to book it in with my gas man an hope it's as straightforward as changing over vaporisers and not a full overhall etc.

The car has been juiced up by JE Engineering! It was done back 2006. Remapped, gas flowed manifolds, induction kit etc! I never did this work and didn't know it had been done until I emailed JE Engineering & they informed me as my local independent noticed my car was rather more spritely than...

Well I've had the heaters up full in order to give me good warning incase I running out of coolant not had aircon on much at all! It never gets that hot here! Altho I do have the aircon switch on the hevac unit set so the light is not on! Why do you ask J?

Funny u shud mention that I've bn having overheating issues and alot of coolant has bn spewing everywhere! I'll check it out!

Well if it was the switch would the windscreen washers not be going constant too?

That's good coz I rarely see them on! Ha ha! Jus did thirty mins of motorway driving and no overheating issues! Levels fine, hot air out of heaters, no oil in coolant and no coolant in oil!

It seems to be working fine. The reason im suspecting the vaporiser is that recently my car was running rough on lpg, misfiring etc. The farm seems to be functioning correctly although upon checking the other day a cannot remember ever seeing my condensor fans running. When should these...

eh! I need help with my headlamp washers not a new set of trainers!

As if my car wasnt stressing me out enough it has decided to not switch off the headlamp washers. I've taken the fuse out and the relay seems to be working ok. Anyone got any clues?

Right just back from garage and the car passed a pressure test. Put 10bar into it and left it for 10mins. No leaks and no loss of pressure. How can i check if the vaporiser is actually the cause before buying a new one?

Did u have oil in coolant or coolant in oil?
