Yes astra estate has v6 in it !

Yes Abbot lovely place and wicked drive down to the ring managed 2 laps but having intermittent overheating problems so couldn't really go for more coilovers definitely need setting up and brakes worked but really easy to lock up !

Overheating? When was that happening?

Was that you reading a temp gauge or ecu pal?

[turbo-fever]

Was temp gauge, basically first time round made it a whole lap and as I stopped gauge went to 3/4 and kept climbing, turned heaters on and they were cold but then it fixed itself after about 10 minutes and now every now and again the gauge will rise past 3/4 then just drop back to middle ? The needle never even use to move past middle, I can check temp through ecu but tablet died.

Hahaha yes that's me ! Hahaha my first lap

[jayc-glanza17]

Maybe a sticky thermostat mate..

Worth a try for how cheap they are.

If you could have read the ecu be so much more accurate..

[TimD]

If it's the thermostat, just remove it completely and sort a new one when you get home.

Sounds like an air lock to me, is your expansion bottle filling up?

[richardc9052]

And, dont you have a charger for the laptop?

[turbo-fever]

It's been running fine all the way home not a problem doesn't get over 98 ? Lol but water does seem to be dissapearing from the coolant bottle.

Didn't have charger at the time but got it sorted for way home but needle didn't move for the 4 hour trip home

[richardc9052]

Check for leaks. this kept happening to me when i was giving the car beans but only when it was up to temp. Turned out the rad had a crack so small that i couldnt see but it opened up as heat got to it, eventually it completely split open on the motorway, overheated almost immediately, blew out the oil seals along with the oil and heat seized. it was a fun day.

[turbo-fever]

Well mates gonna do a sniff test when I'm back from holiday hopefully it's not headgaskwt and just a leaky rad like you said. Want to get half rad with triple core anyway
