Get sorted as soon as.....belt + thermo + coolant and see how it goes as dub said its a solid little engine so chances are you mabe ok after that if its still taking in water (and its not leaking from anywhere) + the temp is high you can only assume its the head (while doing this job you may aswell do the water pump) if its physically leaking it would be from the water pump, rad, thermo stat housing, heater matrix and hoses.

Anyone have one? i quite like this one, thoughts? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Biosciencegeek-Headp...p3286.m63.l1177

i remember you saying about the heat issues not long ago did u not get the thermostat dne?....i assumed the belt would have gone for the batt light to come on unless the alt is also at fault? but if the belt breaks nothing is driving the pump...and it can be 1 of the causes. i still stick to my first answer...check + replace the belt aswell as the thermo fill her up and keep a close eye on it.

had the belt not broke?....

Let us know how she fares, best of luck

His battery light came on....no need to be like that mate if its wrong im sorry but i said what i knew.

some times its just imposible, theres too much slush etc and no snow to go over....gona have to keep some grit in the boot

It was my first time in the snow i enjoyed it loads of wheel spin at first but....2nd gear n loads of throttle control = win but bloody hell the ammount of idiots in high powered rwd automatics wtf? no snow mode? put it into d2 or something higher?....

I think this should be a reminder to all of us to periodically check our anc belts while keeping an eye on all fluids.....i knw ill be checking mine before i leave 4 hme.

because of the belt ? ^

The alt belt must have gone it drives the water pump i think?......best thing is put a new belt on change the thermo (eliminates that and only cost a 10er) and see how it goes from there keeping a very CLOSE eye on her.....fingers crossed it didn`t damage the head.

Get a spare badge n try it.....no harm in it, its only a little mod which can be removed

9.00 mate....when your there early etc for where ever your going you`ll be glad, funk knows what the weather will be like in the morning.

I love jays auto its beautiful.....mabe have a look around the 91 and 82 build threads to see whats been done and mabe that will help?

Things will be avaliable for a long time to come for under the bonnet....just the exterior parts are dying/being broken/have ridiculous prices.

The only thing to consider is the after market exterior parts for the GT are harder to come by as such and are expensive? skirts, front/rear lip, ZEP grille, spoiler......whereas to update a 96 spec V to 98 spec everything is avaliable new.

Congrats.....did you not get the "oh you dont have any rear seats" lol

What the? i stick at 60 because its far more economical....what was it like for you while being a student? have all the money in the world? ^ is it really all about that? has no1 ever gone over limit? including you? so if every one was doing 70 and no1 ever travelled a length of journey from A - B going over the limit where would we be? in an emergency do you stick at 70? seems as if the more i say the more you make me out as a bad driver......

Whats wrong with your SR? whats dropping off?......

lol ^ im just under 11 stones n my mate is well...ermm 12? @ cal i want to be confident with the power i have before i get a FTE after taking bourkeys for a spin its quite scary considering ive only been driving since may? there is alot more to pay attention too.

eh? 90% of the time im sat in the 1st lane @ 55-60.....which of you do that? actually forget that why do people mod there cars? to go fast i.e over the speed limit so every one is guilty. 1st lane 60 bellow 2nd lane 70 3rd lane? why did they make this?? tarmac left over? if the speed limit is 70 and most if not all people who do 70 are in the 2nd lane? mate i didn`t post this thread to argue or be funny with anyone just wanted to know if anything was wrong with the car.....i know what i did last night wasn`t the best of thought out thing but have you never done such a thing? we all learn and

Most useful thing ever cup holders....they look the part fitted too. We demand more pictures! (when possible) lol

Welcome amigo.....take a look around and enjoy your stay, get some pics up?

It not an excuse but this was at 4am in the morning with a few cars on the motorway with 3 lines (4 on occasions) empty.....im pretty confident that if it was a non windy day we could have beat him much faster......come to think of it not sure if it was a v-tec. I may add since drving i have only managed to break the speed limit a hand full of times so it only happens on the very rear ocassion....also saw a Q7 almost trying to take off in the fast lane must have been going 120 atleast Glad everythings ok another 4k and its service time

Me and a friend decided to go manchester and eat....on the way back this bad boy in a 1.4i civic started giving it some as we hit the M62 i planted my foot but it wouldn`t go over 90 it was very windy but would that be the cause? after a while it got over 90 and then we grilled his V-tec ass by a few car lengths (then my student wallet started crying and had to pull back)......overall throughout the trip there and back it felt slightly sluggish/not pulling its weight.....is it me over reacting? or could something be wrong? usually after 60 it takes off to 100. 5k since its last service.....te
