RRC V8 overheating
meathumper:
Well, In the begining after the first gasket change a fiend said he thinks its pressurising because its to hot. He thought this because the aircon fans where coming on and they do this for a back up if it gets to hot. So we changed the temp sender and still the same reading so we out ruled that.
But yes the rad is crap got one on the way.
As for the viscous fan, my brothers got one that has jammed on so i tryed that one and i got further than i did with mine before it started to get worm.
So it could be a combination of a bad rad not cooling good enough and a fan not blowing hard enough?
Range Rover Blues:
Unless it's using water agin I'd want to be totally sure the cooling system was up to the job and it could be the irontite has just made the rad too bad. If you've got a good one to try I'd suggest you do that before spending any more.
meathumper:
Yeah, ive got a rad on its way, going to soak it in coca cola before fitting. Then see if it stops over heating. Im on going holiday on friday so its going to have to wait until im home. Thanks for help ill let you all know how i get on.
buster uk:
i think once the rad has been changed ,and with my locked up fan on it should be ok.
meathumper:
Hello to all, i think ive cracked it. new rad and its not over heating and i dont think its pressureising. Well i went for a drive and its cool as can be and no water getting spat out. So ive put a bottle of K-seal in to be sure. Thanks to all who helped and i hope i can go finaly and get it stuck in some mud.
