Could be on its way though, I remember when my gasget blew a while back, about a week before the temperature used to shoot up in the car even while driving, then go down and never settle, yet the radiator was cold, no creamy oil or anything, then it went pop on the way to bradford & was stuck 70 miles from home :( | |

looks like it, dont think the head gaskets gone cos i ran the car and left the top off the Coolant tank usually if the head gaskets gone the water boils over doesnt it? also there is no white deposits round the oil filler cap | |

sometimes a bleed valve somewhere, another way that ive done it before is to drain the system, then fill as much as you can. start it running with the rad cap off and watch for the water level falling. When it starts to fall add more water till the level settles down again. Once the fan has been on and off a few times its normally okay. | |
