well I've been running round all day and to shops and here and there.... we also live up the side of a mountain with a 30 degree driveway and I have labored the engine as much as i can and I cant get the temp gauge to move...... fingers crossed this thread has saved my bacon !!!
previous owner gave me 12 years of service history and only lately has there been a cooling issue.... he has spent in excess of 3 grand and it may have just been a blocked tube!!!
I'm loving this forum already :)
