Well the Rad was very old so I was hoping that was the problem. It wasn't exactly pissing out at high pressure and like i say it wasn't even hot.

The Rad prob was blocked as the water was brown when I got the car. I have since flushed it but i'm guessing it could still have been blocked. Do you think it worth removing the stat anyway?

I really dont think its headgasket to be honest.

For some reason this post has duplicated itself three times. One post is good enough

Thanks for the help
