    How hot is your vt????

    or your radiator could just need a clean out, , and i mean for it to be pulled apart and rodded out , not just having a hose shoved down its neck , which does stuff all , and yes put the thermo in its an easy job

    About coolant tube and motor light.

    correct , im guessing he has over filled it , never undo the radiator cap when the motor is hot in case you didnt know , wait till its been sitting for ages then top up the radiator and fill up the overflo bottle till you get to the marks on the dipstick

    Vt over heating.

    sounds like you need the radiator taken out ,and cleaned out , you wont remove all the crap that sticks in the tubes by just changing the coolant , if you take it out urself and take it to a radiator shop itll save you a few bob

    Where is the water going

    check your heater tap, and your radiator tanks for cracks around the brackets that hold the fan setup , use a torch and look for stains

    Coolant Leaking

    change the pump they will eventually leak and not only from the gasket , not to mention the blades of the impeller will corrode and fall apart , spend an extra $80.00 approxand do the job properly , and while the belt is off check it for cracks , hope you drew a mud map as well :)

    Leaking coolant

    Overheating

    you have to do it while its at operating temp , and when the thermo opens , it will only let a bit out if you only crack it a little open , you can have the cap off the radiator while its running up if you want , then you can add more coolant after you bleed it then cap it off , have the heater...

    How Do i Change The Coolant

    easiest way is to remove one of the heater hoses from the block shove the hose down it , (make sure heater is turned on beforehand) aqnd run hose , take your bottom hose off as well then hold your hand over the end of it to flush it back thru the heater pipe end as well , takes 5 minutes

    Cheapest way to replace radiator

    all you need is a 10 ml socket and a screwdriver and a shifter or 2 , itll take you less than an hour , take the fan out first itll let you see what you doing easier, and take your inlet hose off so you can pull the fan assenbly out i should say
