The car hasn't overheated in a few months now but I haven't driven the car on a long journey 100+ miles.

The only thing I can think of now is the HG is gone.

Drive your car for 30 mins no boast at all then park it for 30mins and keep an eye on your temp gauge.If it over heats its your head gasket.
If its ok after that.Then take the car out again and totally give it the beans as much as you can then pull over straight away, again leave it ticking over for about 30 mins and keep an eye on the temps.
If it overheats this time you've got a cracked block.

You might have a split pipe somewhere which over time could cause an air lock.You could try some rad/pipe mix that you pour into your coolant but try the above above first.
Fingers crossed youve not cracked your block dude.

I will see about getting a leak test done.It will either highlight the issue or I will be able to rule out a leak.
It's either a leak somewhere, of HG failure IMO.
Thanks![]()

You either have/had a leak, now a warped head due to overheating on long run/boosting or the thing which is every Rev 3 owners nightmare, a cracked block.

Yea that is what I am thinking.
Will a comp test or leak test show up a cracked block?

Bled the system more times than I can remember.
