OK what causes these to fail? as i think the thermos has failed again with in a month of replacing it.

 

the replacement was a genuine OEM part

I thought there was no water going into the matrix from the engine indicating a blockage inside it, or did I get myself confused?:wacko:

 

If you do (but hopefully don't) go down the engine rebuilding route let me know and i'll come and give you a hand if im up to date with work and can be of assistance

 

an engine rebuild is going to cost a lot matey, cheaper to get a known working good lump and stick in, im on a tight budget at the moment as it is and really dont want to cut corners with this, so a rebuild would be a jimmer thing for me as its worth the peace of mind from a great chap.

 

If i can source a engine from Jeff at least i know its going to of been tested before it leaves the car he took it from, so although cheaper than a rebuild, its also the better option at the moment, ive just had a engine go blewy that hasn't long had a rebuild just because the bloody thermostat failed.

 

Though ive got 2 engines in my garage we can strip for shits and giggles one day, they will be easier to move in bits as well.

 

 

though if this block test comes back as neg, im going to be back at square 1 with wondering why its over heating.

block tester on its way. got it from UK tools, will update when it gets here

block test kit just arrived, will be heading down to the car in a bit to test it. not looking forward to this but at least ill finally know for sure. :(

Fingers are crossed for you mate!
