Hi Folk's I need some advice , I could see water dripping from the hole in the water pump I topped up the water.later on stopped at the lights in a cloud of steam the small hose that conects the heater pipe to the thermostat housing had split got home stopping every now and again to top up the rad . Fitted a new water pump and hose,took the car around the block checked no leaks thought great. Yesterday over heated again , doing about 70 uphill on the A120 got home stopping every now and again to let the engine cool, Thought it must be the head gasket.This morning took the car for a run to get it warm looked in the oil filler at the rockers expecting to see white foam nothing just a golden colour,removed the plugs they all look the same light brown carried out a compession test with the following results.
