hi guys i have a sneaky idea what it is but just need to confirm.
drove my 3.0 kzn the other day for about 50 miles when the bugger overheated. did not notice anything on the temp gauge. AA came out did pressure test, everything ok. checked oil for signs of water, everything ok. topped her up and off i went. did the round trip then when i got home she did the same again, steam coming from under the bonnet. Ok i thought she may need a new thermostate. so i:
1 changed the thermostate
2 flushed the system out and replaced with new coolant/antifreeze.
right that should do it i thought. drove her to work today, no problem about 30 miles then drove her back. thought i'd have a look under the bonnet. the collant bottle was full to the brim and had overflowed and she was hissing a little, BUT THE TEMP GAUGE WAS AS NORMAL!!!
any idea folks???
got my ideas..........
