It's got what I beleive to be a saxo one in there at present but the header tank is built into rad and there is no overflow so the pipe that comes off top of thermostat housing has been blanked off now th rad has split and head gasket gone I've got new gaskets but need to get coolant issue sorted

That's what has puzzled me I brought it as a project but his seems to be botched everywhere I look. Grrrrrr I presume that's why it cooked up coz th overflow is blanked off and too much pressure caused th rad to split
