Havin problems with the water system on my p38. Engine has been rebuilt after co2 in water. All new parts fitted, wpump stat and cap. Top hose still gets very hard the vacuum guage was ok yesterday but today it just fails. Pump is pulling air in some were but not letting water out. Now totally [!Expletive Deleted!] off, C/Hd as been pressure tested twice and skimmed once. Bazz. :police:

Hi Mate

In my experience i have seen where the bled hose off the top of the rad to the expansion tank has been blocked causing all sorts of overheating issues, ensure that you get coolant out of this hose at the rad & then ensure it is completly free flowing into the expansion tank.

Good luck

Replaced the front chamber but air still in water, any ideas please cos iam nearly skint. Bazz.

Did you have the block crack tested?

Ive just had a new engine (well 2nd hand!) into mine and the original fault was the block, and that was causing it to pressurize and overheat.

Range Rover Blues:
Very crude but if you get pressure in the cooling when it's running try pulling an injector lead off to dissable one cylinder, check each in turn and you may find (I say may) that the pressurising stops.  It can still pressurise on the compression stroke but the cylindder pressure is much higher on the power stroke.

Another solution is a leak-down tester.  Kpet meaning to buy one when I had the cash.
