Ok.
So essentially I am a hairs breadth away from scrapping the lemon and selling it's bits.
The overheating is still an issue.
Replaced on the car the following;
4 pistons
The head
Headgasket X3
Thermostat X 3
Water pump X2
Coolant x10274829202
Radiator
Injectors (refurbed)
R70/for (refurbed/new)
The gauge and sensor tests out fine.
The problem;
Driving normally it's ok, does get up to temp about twice as fast as I would expect.
Lean on it and it gets up to opening stat temp fast.
Keep leaning on it, like persistent hard pulls in multiple gears and the temp keeps rising.... Till I dare.
As soon as you back off, temps drop back again.
I am open to any and all ideas... End of April there will either be a "fixed" thread for the lemon... Or a breaking one.
I just can't cope. I'm losing sleep, spending a fortune of time and money and generally feeling in a very dark lonely place because of it.
I appeal to all brains. Help. :-(
