so drove 50mile to a funeral today...on/off boost...some A roads, some motorway...85degrees non stop
got to the town and it started to play up...temp moved up to 110/115 few times, both fans on, then down again, then up again.
and the heaters went cold...
I though headgasket but hoped for a airlock
nursed it round...got to an old mates and let it cool and checked for air...was a bit...bit of pressure too...so topped up, rebled...
took for spin and as soon as on boost the temp rose rapidly....
off boost it slowly dropped.
went back to me mates for tea ready for a slooooow journey home...possibly via Green Flag.
Started to gee meself up for a weekend head rebuild...let my OCD go wild on some valve seats etc...but
Just got home...all is well?!
Sat at 85degrees, heaters are toasty, last 10min of journey I got onto some serious boosting and its fine!?!?
duno what to think now?!
