Faisal, do you have two white ep82's and a caldina,ep's pretty tuned looking? And live near undercliffe, or west bowling?(not too clued up on bfd lol) if so I've seen your cars about when at work

I don't want to without knowing first though? :/ Can't be stat though surely? 2 of em that look to be working when tested, one brand new...can't be faulty?

It can't be mate pretty sure of it, I've tried two now and the one I took out was working fine with the kettle test, the other is brand new. Taking it out will definately let it run warm because its like a big gaping hole as opposed to the stat only being a small hole even when open. I'm wondering if the hg is going, causing boost to pressurise the cooling system and force the stat closed? Hence why on idle its fine, but as soon as I drive it goes cold

Search ebay for block tester mate, if not ill link you when I'm on a pc? Right the block tester has still not arrived, can anyone give me an opinion as I'm wanting to strip it down tomorrow if it needs a hg. Basically my symptoms are: -Pressurised and emptied the overflow tank once on a long drive to deans. -after driving the car it seems to make both rad pipes go pretty solid -sometimes if I give it a boost and then pop the lid off the expansion tank but leave the tube in it will make small bubbles. -if I leave the car to idle the bottom hose will get hot as though the stat is opening as i

Where did ya get it mate?

Yeah you have to basically stab holes in the rad, seems silly to me

Mine with no silencers and td04 is sooooo loud lol.

Wanna sell the oil return on the bottom of the vf30?

I would port your mani or turn it down, upto you though

Could do with the weld on the hanger strengthening, not the best ever, so £70?

Lol this reminds me, a mate of mine who knows pretty much fuck all about cars(thinks his Mini Cooper is a turbo, and its not an s) went to get some tyres and was told the guy would sort him Out, he came back with a pair of wanli or similar telling me how the car corners immensely compared to the worn out dunlops that were on it, I just kept quiet and face palmed lol.

As I say it seems to open and warm the lower hose when the car is stood still, when running not so much, maybe because the radiator is cooling it with air flow? Have changed the thermo mate It was £35 mate, and yeah but at least you will know lpl

The first garage were unhelpful when I asked for a sniff tester, said he'd need to empty the coolant or some other bollocks, the second didn't have one so I've ordered one from eBay

Will the thermo only open when the car is still? Like I say if I've been driving the car around the lower hose will always be cold, if its left running however on the spot it will warm up?

An inconclusive update to mine, I took the car to two garages today, one of them put a coolant system compressor on the rad, pumped it up to 20 psi and left it ten mins, it dropped a little bit but he said it seems fine :/ He also put the pressure thing on and had me run the car, it didn't built up any pressure then which he said was good....he seems to think nothing's wrong weirdly I then took it to another garage who had a quick look and said as the bottom pipe is cold(which it always is after driving it, only warms up if I leave the car to run) he said that meant there deffo appeared to b

Got a full powerflow system, cheap?

Wan-li? Lol

Definately worth sending to dean, have a look in jack-CTR's thread mate

Is it a jperformance kit by any chance? If so and that's the drivers side I might have a longer coupler spare that will fit?

That compressor wheel looks evil...lol

Pretty sure it's not normal mate

Had a sniff test done mate, Could have gone again but not likely

I reckon it's hg mate, mine only had 2 slow bubbles pop out the expansion tank not like that and I assume mines the hg, What else could it be mate, I've changed the thermo and rad cap and bled mine and its still the same.

Is there any bits I've missed that I should really do? Valve guides maybe?

I mean to say it was meant to be 500 though, so what did you have done extra over what I'm asking for?
