So I changed the expansion tank and thought all was good for a few days. Until today it over heated about ten minutes into an eazy journey, so i stopped the engine for 30 seconds and all was fine again. Now i have just drove for 2mins on a Cold engine and it says its overheating and the fans are...

Yes the fan kicks in, that's how i notice it's overheating most times ( or it thinks it is). Then I turn the key off and on then it goes back to half way.

A new header tank is only £13 on Ebay, so im going to start with that as there several cracks on it, If someone could run through the correct procedure i'd be very grateful or link me up if it's already been explained on here as I can't find one. Thanks guys :)

I also had it pressure tested when it first overheated and my mechanic said all was fine. how come it returns to normal gauge when i just simply turn engine off and on again??

I have noticed there are what looks like hairline crack where the screw cap goes on around the coolant bottle, would this be a good place to start cost effective wise?? Also why is it not a good idea to use stop leak products. Thanks in advance
