Been reading for a few hours trying to find some advice but haven't really found anything that applies to my problem (its a L76 V8). For some reason my car keeps overheating as I can hear it bubbling away into the overflow. These problems started a couple of weeks ago when it blew the back of one of the side tanks on (note: Didn't crack, blew it off). I replaced the radiator and kept having problems. I took off to a Radiator specialist a couple of weeks ago and thought it was fixed but yesterday it dropped a lot of water. It get's hot but for some reason the Thermo Fans won't kick in, however with aircon on the fans do kick in and everything's fine.
So far replaced;
Radiator
Radiator Cap (seal was knackered)
Thermostat (seal was knackered)
One of the lower hoses (looked knackered)
And after all that it then blew the heater tap which was replaced.
After that it pressure tested fine and no problems until yesterday.
Anyone got any ideas? AS far as i can tell there are no leaks (pressure tested fine and not dropping coolant apart from yesterday) was gonna run some chemiweld through the system to fix any cracks in the head but while heating the engine up it started blowing water out of the Radiator (Cap off)...
