Ok, an update. Put in a new lower radiator hose (Genuine Toyota $11 how good is that!), and while I was there I pressure tested the system (maybe too much pressure) and I saw two tiny little jets coming out of the radiator, how much pressure is the system meant to have I thought only about 15psi so maybe I was putting too much pressure into it.... oops?
However I then took the car for a drive with its new radiator hose and it still got "hot", fair enough it didn't go into the red or as high as usual but it was at about 3/4, do you guys consider that fine? Was a really hot day too though, about 35 degrees.
Took the radiator cap off while it was still hot (carefully) and the system had heaps of pressure, so I guess that a good thing right? While it was off I can also vouch for the fact that both the thermostat and the water pump seem good (saw plenty of flow when I started the car).
So is 3/4 on a hot day ok?? (and do I need to worry about those tiny holes in the radiator under high pressure although I can't see anything coming from then when driven / hot?)
Cheers
Wilbo
