I have ordered a Tim gauge not here yet though

Just seems odd that rad was fine when it came off and now it's not to happy Might get a cheap one for a short term fix and send old to be recored at a later date. Just could do without expense as I have spent £600 on it this month :(

Can't sleep as this is doing my nut. Fan temp sensor doesn't appear to be working so can't rely on that. Put it in boiling water and nothing. Tried ohms reader and also nothing

Just try and get a Clarke one or something, they are steady away. Cost about £120 for one (used) £30 for co2 conversion and then try and find a pub co2 bottle which are about £25 to fill but last forever Or better yet get a used mig that comes with bottle

Teach yourself Get a mig welder, a pub co2 bottle, some scrap steel and watch YouTube.

Looking good, a great find

Ok, going to bed now as on nights, Tomorrows job is to test the fan heat regulator thing as fan works but is not kicking in, this is because heat sensor or relay is broken or because it's not actually getting that hot. Second job, drain entire system including block (I didn't do that this time)...

Ok so journey back. Gets to running temp (half way) in 1.5 miles (around 4-5 min) Stays at half way the whole journey (5 mile) Pop bonnet and pipes and rocker are all warm but I can hold my hands on them. Rad it hot. Bottom pipe rad and rocker all hotter than top pipe but I can just hold my...

Maybe my rad is the issue then. It is leaking somewhere and some fins are wet. Didn't think this would be an issue. Wasn't leaking before and read that they do sometimes leak after coolant change before just sorting themselves out Is rad weld an option?

I can't tell at mo as took stat out again and have driven to cinema as promised daughter to watch finding dory. When I was trying before no there was no pressure and hoses were soft. I fitted old stat and realised with the new one I had forgot the little runner gasket on the rim of the stat so...

It overheated as I stupidly drove it home after aux belt snapped. I guess I don't know. It worked fine before overheating but I guess overheat could have knackered it. Surely if it's fine without stat then it's a stat issue

Ok old stat back in and it getting warm again. Top of white. Am I missing something. The stat does go with the spring part down right?

Ok stay out whilst engine was warm (top of white) Ran it 5 miles with no stat and it worked its way down to half way and sat there. Must be a stat issue. I'll put the old one back in which was wax stat and I'll bin the new bearmach one

Been for its mot this morning and passed without issue. However driving it back the temp gauge climbed very quickly to just below red so pulled over to have a look. (To update its 200tdi conversion, just had new head gasket, new head, water pump and stat after overheating and cracking old head)...

Nice work Are you going to disclose the sum of hard earned cash you had to depart with ;)

Fanks :)

Last one I promise.... Or until it fails it's mot on Monday :D Where can the breather hose go to from the head? When I got it the hose was attached to nothing just the breather on the rocker cover. I believe the other end is meant to go on the air box but there is no attachment on mine. Is...

Thanks guys, Nothing on my Landy is shiny :)

Ok latest news: Car ran for an hour stationary and gets up to just under the red (in the black). It used to get half way on a run but that was on old thermostat new one is bearmach. I have ordered a new temp gauge but not here yet. When at this temp I can hold the top hoses just and there is...

Ok stupid again but I have just bought an infra red therm. I'll get engine running again then is the stat casing the best place to take the reading?
