Erm well about 20mins I'd say of normal driving. But my brother said he had it ticking over for almost an hour then drove it 10mins home with pressured pipes but with no steam or hoses blowing.
Its not blowing hoses anymore like it did before anyway. But iv not kept driving once the hoses have pressured so abit concerned if they will pressurize to the point of bursting a hose. Temp gauge all the time showing 65/70'c (barely just registering on the vitara temp gauge) sometimes rising as high as 80 but for a very brief time and cools right back down which is the same as the engine in my sj.
