When I have been out for a blast my cooling system seems to be pressurizing, if I try to remove the cap it will shoot water every where and the two front hose are really firm, is this normal. it does not overheat or seem to be losing water though.

 

Cheers

Yes, that is normal - and you shouldn't remove the rad cap when it's hot !

normal for any type of car AFAIK

normal for any type of car AFAIK

And water cooled Bikes.......:D

what you doing taking it offf when its hot the reason why i flies out is as soon as you release the pressure in the system the water boils as the pressure in the system makes the boiling point for the water higher

 

notice all the bubbling that went on after you managed to get the cap back on ???? its the water boiling in the pipes and the engine !!!! not a good idea my friend leave well alonw when its hot unless you know for sure theres no pressure in it (squeeze the pipe ).

 

BUT be V carefull had serious burns from a overheated rover ahh dont ya just love british cars so good and the manufacturer will never goe bust !!!!

LOL aghh its only about 75oc thats fine :wack:

I only ask as about a month ago I boiled it up real bad :headvswal and still wondering if the head gaskets have gone. Maybe I have been lucky :bow:

take rad cap off when it's cool. fill up any water that has gone. start engine up with rad cap off. iff there is a constant stream of bubbles in the coolant, chances are the gasket has gone :( :mac1:

u can also tell if the h.g. has gone cos ur temp needle will go in the red everytime its warmed up
