Ok sitrep, system flushed and re-filled, thermostat removed. Idled for about 5-10 mins by which time the fluid was boiling very well in the expansion tank, guage read at the black line and fan just came on, any ideas?
1) If there is a "hole" through which enough water water is escaping for the engine to boil, you must surely be able see what has come out and also notice the level falling in the radiator.
2) If there is a "hole" between the combustion chambers and the cooling system, you should be able to see bubbles in the radiator.
3) Is the fan rotating the the correct direction to expel air into the nearside wing ?
1) there are no visible leaks, nothing on the ground etc
2) what do you mean bubbles in the radiator? Would that be bubbles in the expansion chamber in my cars case? This could be likely as there is pressure in the main cooling tube (note when running with the expansion chamber cap off and looking in there doesn't appear to be any bubbles....)
3) My rad is in the front
