It was a 14 " eBay special. I may give it a try again now it's all bled correctly now. If not ill buy a decent on as I certainly noticed the fuel consumption and sluggishness having the viscous on permenant

Don't tell the misses
Well work and back without a problem and on the hottest day of the year. Can't complain at that. Just to source a working viscous now

Well did a 10 mile journey to the mother in laws today and it bubbled away all it's water and reached 3/4 on the temp gauge. While I was there I spent 2 hours flushing the system running it up to temp and trying to get the air out of the system. I think it's worked as the same journey home and just ...

I'll give it a try. I'm just curious as to why its doing it when the fan runs constant. I'd uderstand if the gauge creaked up as well.

Wouldn't that have escaped now? When the rad cap does let air escape at what temp would this happen and I'm sure it would bubble away like it is now. Just popped out and the level has gone from the full mark to empty so it is returning back to the rad like it should.

So I attempted an electric fan and it was worse than a broken viscous. I've locked my viscous as a temporary measure but its still bubbling in the overflow bottle when the temp reached half way I've replaced: Head gasket new Thermostat new Water pump new I've also had a sniff test done and compressi...

So I've been out this morning and its bubbling back through into the expansion tank again and you can hear it bubbling in the top hose. Air leak? Maybe but a bit of a coincidence it's doing the same as before. Can not working. Possible. Like I said before I can stop it at all temp with a newspaper/h...

That link is great thank you. The problem I had was with the key/false key and the 60a. At least I now have something to compare it against. Thanks again

I'll get a pic tomorrow. The pully bolt needs taking off so you can see one of 2 slots that can be used. No I don't have a timing light I'm afraid

So all refited and it wouldn't start. 5 minutes head scratching and it seems that it had run out of fuel. Strange. Anyway running on 4 at last and did a 40 mile round trip in this heat with no overheating. I do think it feels under powered though. Timing most probably but I have a problem. My timing...
