Di you follow the correct filling procedure at the correct temperature and with the correct ATF?
What's the chances of all the ways a HG can fail, it's pressurised coolant?Right well i think I've decided the engine is buggered. Pipes are getting way too hard and air isn't 'working it's way out'. It can only be exhaust gas
I've got to try changing the head gasket, but i shan't hold my breath

How hard do you call hard? 14psi makes the pipes quite firm.Right well i think I've decided the engine is buggered. Pipes are getting way too hard and air isn't 'working it's way out'. It can only be exhaust gas

I thought you had done a gas test on the coolant?
By hard i mean just able to make an impression on the hose with my thumb.
Just been out to check while it's still warm, was able to take cap off without losing coolant.. put my pressure tester on and pumped to 15psi and that felt similar. 16psi perhaps felt more firm but it's hard to say.
Do you think I'm overreacting again then?
I did the gas test myself but the liquid is old, i don't know if it loses ability to change colour
Maybe i need to restart the bleed process from scratch again.
I was expecting pressure to be around 12, 2-3 more isn't much i guess

Thanks - was going to be my next move as reversing the washers made no difference to the noise.
Was going to be a simple loosen all bolts a few mm, then one at a time bolt out, slip a rubber washer into place, refit bolt, until all are done.
Knowing my luck that will increase the noise!

I believe it has been known to remove the pump box and give the panel under a little love with a rubber mallet.
I had all the symptoms for three days, Mrs P had a sore throat two days before testing positive and the youngest only got a sore throat for two days... It hits everyone differently..Glad you clear now, hope Mrs P and the lad bounce back quickly.
spoke to one of my younger brothers this morning and hes has now caught it and feeling absolutely wiped out
Thanks Brian.
Thanks Rubberknees.. Back to work and it's freezing out thereWelcome back into the free world again Mark.

Paramedics didn't do a test but they didn't think it was. At this moment i really have no clue. Currently over the worst and hope it stays that way
