Wouldn't the thermostat isolate that side until it ws warmOr you can start it from cold for a few seconds, stop the motor and release the pressure cap on the header tank, if you have pressure your in trouble.

The thermostat on a diesel is on the return from the rad according to a diagram Saint v8 put up some time ago.

If the system is pressurising then you will know it.As Brian posted the thermostat is on the return, but anyway, it has a bleed valve/hole which would allow the pressure,if any, past.
Cheapo one may not.

True, but the fitter should have drilled it if they knew what they were doing.

They should be called putter's, ie. put this on and see if it cures the fault. Afternoon Tony.
Afternoon Alan. Just off to Halfrauds for some bike bits. Got lumbered with two freestyle bikes to sort out for two of the grand kids. How come every time i do somebody a favour it costs me money.

Don't get trade on bike bits unfortunately. Only on vehicle related stuff. May try it on though.
