Well cracking day out at Essex Off Road, even better I made it home under my own power for once.
Was a nice collection of trucks down there today, think i'll be there to watch the punch hunt in November.

Ha ha I know, he should have know that when he sold it to me.
Ok I have a problem! Lol ... I lost a load of water a few months ago out of the egr sensor plug thing that sits on top of the engine - so that got replaced topped up the water and bled the system and everything was fine. . Done a few miles here there and everywhere! And yesterday drove it 30 miles on dual carriageway and had no heating, engine temp was sitting in middle, it was on the way home I noticed the engine temp rising, so so I stopped and went to add some water and noticed there was water around the filler cap (maybe I need a new one) or could it be a broken thermostat not letting water through so it's causing back pressure and making filler cap valve leak. . Head gasket is ok - what should I do first!
Fantastic news lol

I just had the same with mine. Fitted Dan's 300 engine, new water pump, heater matrix & thermostat but was still over heating.
I'd get a sniff test done or check you don't have air bubbles blowing out your header tank before you start pulling it apart.
I replaced everything on mine, even the head gasket just to make sure but I was lucky mine turned out to be I used the 200 rad but it didn't like it, new rad & it sorted it.
Do the cheap things first

More amazing still is I haven't blown the head gasket yet. Usually standard disaster within a couple of weeks of ownership.

No chance there mate, Mikey changed it, now it will last at least another 100'000 miles.
What, touch it, break it Copping. I don't think so
My mate tested the head gasket today that's all ok
new thermostat fitted but still no hot air, so now I'm gonna change the water pump can hear the bearings in there rattling around! (Still doesn't explain where my waters been going)

You may want to do the P gasket at the same time. Just have to take the rest of the casing off.

how was head gasket tested??
He put some blue stuff in a big test tube and wedged it in to the header tank and pumped it (it looked kinda sexual) but apparently it checks for ex hurst gasses in the water or something! Lol
