Thanks for the advice guys, i have changed the thermostat again, fitted a new water pump, burped the coolant, replaced the fluids, then it ran fine for 30 mins. took her for a drive - no probs until i took her up a few hills, the fluid in the expansion tank is boiling and it popped the lid of the expansion tank, temperature went up and down with each gear change and finally went into the red whilst going up the hill to my dads house where i switched it off. cooland boiled and spewed out of the expansion tank. i have run out of ideas now !!!! prior to all this (mentioned in previous threads) i have put on a new head and complete gasket set. please help, i am now at my wits end !!!

I think you had better check the coolant if you have any left for combustion gasses then have a word with whoever supplied and/or fitted the head, it don't look good to me

Aaarrgghhh !!!!

The head came in a box with the car when i bought it, was in perfect condition (i think !!!!) can i get the coolant gas tested any where ?? what would this reveal ?? would it tell me if there were exhaust /combustion gases in the coolant ? any help is very much appreciated !! I am at my wits end, IGGISAIL XXXXxx

The head came in a box with the car when i bought it, was in perfect condition (i think !!!!) that looks a bit questionable now!can i get the coolant gas tested any where ??
