I dont really know what happened, as it isnt my car. Its my mums truck, and she lives a fair way out on a property, so it does heaps of miles. Im pretty sure it was due to overheating, but my mum is pretty understanding with her cars (even used to race sports cars back in the day), so its not due to neglect, and it never consumed water until now, so I was looking for a component failure of some sort, either pump or thermostat as you suggest. The main failure is into No 2, but the fact that No4 has a failure as well (even though it is very small) suggests that the head has warped (rather than actually blowing out the gasket material), but I hav'nt taken the head off yet, so I cant be sure. Unfortunately Im back in Sydney now, so it will most likely have to be done by the local mechanic.
