rs overheating
hello all my erst has just started over heating the water system seems to be over pressurising and popping my hoses. ive checked for blockages and changed the stat it just builds up pressure and starts bubbling in the hoses. is it possible that the head gasket has gone could that be putting the pressure in the water system? although i cant smell fumes from the water tank!!

does it do it if you leave it idling? or does it become aparent when its been on boost?
could be a few things, could start with a leakage test and see if any bubbles show up in the header tank
