Hi Everyone
I have a 1996 300tdi defender which I've owned for 4 years without issue. My radiator recently dumped all the coolant on the motorway (it was spurting out into the fan on inspection) . Radiator was replaced, not before time, but now I have refilled via thermostat and radiator plugs and bled the system I have constant high pressure in the expansion tank. Starting fyom cold there is immediate high pressure, forcing air out of the expansion tank, soon followed by coolant spraying out. I've replaced expansion cap. No change. I think water in expansion tank may smell of exhaust fumes. no oil in water, or water in oil. Any thoughts????
Thanks
