RRC V8 overheating
300TDi Disco:
After i changed the thermostat in my V8 & put water back in the system, i had it overheating. So i pulled over and felt the water pipe leading to the thermostat and it felt solid (pressure). So i opened the expansion tank to find loads of air coming out (fast) & after that i have never had a problem (touch wood).

Take the stat out, the irontite might have messed it up.
meathumper:
That sounds like a simple air lock, wish mine was that easy. :(
meathumper:
The stats working i think, as the heaters work.
Range Rover Blues:
When the engine is cold and the stat is shut all the water goes to the heater, when the stat opens less water goes to the heater, however if the heater is working then I don't hink youhave any air locks in it.
Remove the stat for now, then at least you can say it isn't that for certain.
Have you got a decent fan and how good is the rad, it's just occured that irontite will block up a silted radiator.
