Overheating

[banga]

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 on as well

Well my uncle tested the fan, it did work dirrectly connected to the battery. Bad news is we found out what the problem was, it is the head/gasket after all.

After the car was running without the radiator cap on, my uncle revved the motor, the water level went up and down for a while with the revs. After a while though there was a huge explosion of water, and it was boiling. My uncle told me it was caused from the exhaust gas getting released into the cooling system. Doesn't mean much to me, except that its going to cost me a fortune to get it fixed.

Thanks a lot for all the helpful advice though, I really appreciate it.
