in the last few weeks the temps have been slowley getting hotter when on a motorway or sitting in traffic. the temp gauge is sitting on the 3rd line. ive tried changing the rad and stat but this has made no differance to the temps. could this be a sign the pump is on its way out. car normally never gose anywhere near to the 3rd line but this little problem is driving me mad. ive got a spare pump to try is there anything else to look for. any help will be apricated.
