right only had my car two week and last week the headertank popped was squirting on to the exhaust manifold thourght it was on fire

any way i got a new header tank from ford and a cap as i thorght that it wasnt letting pressure out .fitted new 1s and the bottle is still expanding badly .

any1 else had this problem could it be the breather system not working very well ??????????

 

I was going to suggest replacing the cap as it may not have been holding pressure and allowing the coolant to boil, but as you have replaced it then i its eliminated that.

What does you temp gauge read?

A sticking thermostat could cause this and also a failed headgasket

 

head gasket is fine did a bloke test on it yesterday also temp gauge never reads above L fa cuts in fine.

might just change the stat and see how that goes

 

definitely overheating somewhere and whats the L???

 

L at the end of normal on the gauge

runs in the middle most of the time

 

it doesnt say normal does it? im sure its N O R M with m at the top

 

anyway check for an air lock, change thermostat, fan switch, check for leaks if you have no joy could be head gasket

 

very true lol hottist it gets then is to the top of M and runs between o/r

 

Sounds like it's running ok, and fan kicking in and out is a good sign. As above, change the stat anyway and check for air leaks, bleed the system and see how you get on.

 

yeah fan kicking in fine no smoke not looseing water or oil and no sludgeing.
will change stat tomorrow see how it goes
