& last night while driving around in 17 deg temperature, it got hot and when I topped it up with water it was just blowing it straight back out of the header tank & I knew then it was cactus.
I filled it with water this morning while it was cold and started it & could see straight away it was bubbling through the header tank & after about 4 - 5 minutes idling in my shed, it had blown half of the water out of the header tank and the other half out of the exhaust..
