Campus - Overheating

[Bodell]

On my way to watford, over heating light came on, turn car heater on and it went off. Parked up went shopping, came back and it was fine. Drove all the way back home (30-40mins) and when i was parking bit of steam was coming from engine.

Help?

Should i try bleeding it?

[raj]

give it a bleed mate.
i recall that you changed the headgasket? did you get the head pressure tested while it was off? you sure the head isnt warped etc?
then again if its warped you would have noticed the campus would have become really slooowww n slugish. but seen as youve manage to drive it without much probs i cant see it being an issue.

i got the head skimmed when i changed the gasket.

Im pretty sure its either the radiator, or air.

[scratcher]

just bleed it anyway. it'll rule that out. and does the fan kick in?

If you have a thermostat in the car also check that is working correctly mate :)

Bled it and it was fine in all valves.

Found out the pipe from the header tank -> top radiator wasnt screwed in properly and i think it was causing a leak.

So i have tightened it all up and *touch wood* it was has been fine all night.

So hopefully thats it sorted.

But now the screw for the front bumper has fallen off! :(

Roach you haven't got a screw i can have?

[Roach]

Prob got something that will fit in the garage :)

[Bodell]

any chance i can pop round a bit later today?

maybe i can have a look at the secret red 5 :)
