Hello m8- i want it generally checked over really, having a few problems now, radiator hose blew recently, then brand new replacement blew within a week!?! Guess that means deeper problems? Interpro Bristol is close enough!- you'd recommend them yeah? Do you know anything about Severn Valley Motorsport (theyre just over the bridge i think!?), would they work on a fairly standard Fiesta RST? What are they like?

are you sure the radiator hose isnt rubbing on anything before you put it into a garage.Also back flush the rad to ensure there are no blockages and is there water in oil or oil in water, just simple checks like this you can get a better idea on what is wrong as if the head gasket has gone it can lead to high water temps which creates high water pressure which could lead to a burst hose. i would myself only take it to a specalist to get the engine set up or if there is a major problem with the car. even putting a new head gasket on the car isnt much of a job really if you know what you are doing.

not heard much about severn valley recently but of the cars ive seen prepared by them they did look to be to quite a high standard.

worth giving them a ring aswell just to check what they think.

i had the same problem with my bottom radiator hose when i first got my frst....it was caused by a fooked gearbox mount...the engine was moving and the altenator was rubbing on the hose causing it to burst
