No coolant circulating?
Hi guys,
Right took my 2wd saph of the road about 2 years ago as wanting to save for an engine build, the engine still ran well it's just a little tired. Anyway I'm going to be moving house soon so need to get it roadworthy for the move. so fired it up today for first time since took it off the road and started on the button only problem is all the Coolant had disappeared, so topped it up but it's not circulating. My question is, is it a knackerd pump or could their be a nother reason as reluctant to change the pump as this would be part of the rebuild.
Thanx in advance
Daz

I did think that but I'm sure normally there's a flow of coolant coming in to the header tank even from cold?, it has been a while though so I might be wrong, I'll let it get hot after I've flushed if n see what happens.

No idea wher it went never noticed a pool underneath n when I topped it up it didn't leak? The pump spins so I presume it's not seized, dose the stat stop flow completely I thought it just cut flow through the rad? But I'll try all these things when I get time.
Thanx for the advice lads

Ah ok well it never used water when it was on the road but it's been sat n not touched for 2 years so thought maybe it just evaporated if that's poss in a sealed system? I drained the water I put in and it did look pretty manky so stat maybe stuck, I'm not really fussed of its knackerd I just need to get it mot'd so I can move house and drive it to Nms without it blowing up
