Default Overheating

Hi
Right need some help
I have s2 with a Airtec rad twin fans but the fans only kick when it's really hot but then the header tanks starts to let go
So one is it getting it hot or two is the tank not hold pressure? The tanks after market alloy tank
Cheers

you could try adding a manual fan switch and see if earlier switching helps
, some temp switches can be manually set ,
kenlowe make 1
you can purchase lower opening point switches,
the number of degrees you have at present , is usually stamped on the side of switch
I cannot comment on header tank other than other pressure caps may be available

Cheers for info
Seem to have sorted it think the cap was not fully screwed on due to alloy cover spinning also I may have over filled the header but touch wood alls good
