OK, back to this ole chestnut......right we bled the car and everything seemed fine for a few weeks then on the motorway i noticed that the temp gauge was right up again! puled over and checkd it out, gauge went back down again! grrrrr

Decided to replace the water pump as they are meant to be a common problem, was told the bit inside.....wears and can flop about etc so it doesnt pump the water round very well, the old one did have a bit of play in it but nothing bad, problem disapeared for a month or so...

it started doing it again last week!!!
