I pulled up n the whole car was engulfed in steam.... I xxxx it an legged it behind a wall in fear of a explosion (dramatic ain't I). anyways.....as it had overheated and that I also had compression issues with the usual cylinder I decided a full refurb was in order! I found that the reserve coolent tank had blowen the cap and pipe compleatley out (toys outta the pram lol), the pipe directley under the dizzy (covered in oil from leaking dizzy o ring)the one which comes from the hard pipe hfhoe and loops back onto the block, was off! when I moved it loads of crusty rusty shizzle flopped out! I still don't know what caused it tho.
..my thermo is working fine as is my water pump :my car has always used tiny amounts of water and I assumed the pressure cap was leaking.
..a week before it gave up I notised rusty stuff floating up in the filler tube, I assumed head gasket but when removed there was no evedence of it blowing.the morning of my engines demise I did a oil and filter change
any ideas fellow 2 owners?
