Ah ok cheers mate makes sense ye me mate was following me tonight no smoke so thats good. Had a few problems with it over heating first couple of days replaced the expansion bottle and removed the thermostat. it can still get a bit hot if you have been booting it but once you drive it slow for 10 mins its ok a decent uprated fan want be a bad idea the temp over here now is 30 degrees and its 12.00 at night lookig forward to the cooler evenings. One other thing im using 10 40 oil as auto data said its ok in a hot climate but today when it got a bit hot the oil light was flickering on idle drove perfect went off when you drove it and when it cooled down oil level is perfect do you think the oil was so thin cause it was hot maybe a different grade oil?
