Tigger:
Did you fit a new thermostat ?   Not uncommon for these to be damaged in an overheat.

manta:
tested thermo its aok put it in boilin water then cold then hot etc etc it works fine.

Dr Neil:
do i take it that you replaced the cylinder head??
as the two i have done have both needed new heads due to being cracked or warped.

failing that make sure the cooling system is bled thru correctly.are you getting hot air from the heater??

just a coulple of thoughts

hope it helps


Neil.....

manta:
yes replaced head, yes heater works, yes flushed all hoses out thoroughly,  thnx for tryin thou m8ty   :D
