Put radiator back in, which got filed and flushed out, turns out it was choccas with shit and crystals that formed. Put new thermostat in, old one was in there but was forged open and wouldnt shut. Replaced a couple hoses that werent connected to anything instead they were cut in half (god knows why). Put new speedo keys in. Shes all back together now. Took her for a trip to the Sunshine coast, and we got there perfectly fine, temp gauge didnt go up one slight bit. Brought her home the same, even giving it a bit on the way home. No overheating. But when she cooled off, we still lost some water. About 700ml (one way). Lost 700ml when we got there and it cooled off, filled her up again, headed home, cooled off and another 700ml was missing. 700ml roughly. So Im thinking the blocked radiator and the thermostat were the causes of the overheating, but the loss of water is another issue altogether.
I left the radiator cap off and let the car idle, and bubbles come up through the water. Not an absolute load of them, but a few. Perhaps where the air is coming in, the water is going out? I havent checked thoroughly for leaks since we put everything back together again, but have checked breifly at times and there was nothing. I was also thinking that maybe I could run some sort of fluoro liquid through my system and see if it shows up any leaks or splits in hoses. Would this be a good idea?
Any ideas where to go from here?
Many thanks!
Once I get this shit fixed, I can go about making it faster!!
