    I think it could have been your cap that caused it to overheat. If a cooling system can't hold pressure it'll allow the engine to overheat.

    For the record mine says 140 too.

    I had issues with my Radiator Cap not sealing correctly... Vehicle was overheating on Warm Days...

    I replaced the Expansion Tank & Cap (Came as a Complete Set) about 3 weeks ago... Had Melbourne's 9 Days of 30+ including a Trip to Yarrawonga (40 Degrees) no issues...

    Purchased from Ebay for $100 Shipped....

    I have recently had overheating issues with my D2a V8.
    I have replaced the bottom hoses because the heater outlet was broken on that plastic 3 way gizmo and I thought that that was the end of it.
    It is still overheating so I checked the thermostat and that is just fine (2 yeas old) but I did notice that my expansion tank cap had some damage to it and the top "O" ring wouldn't be seating properly.
    I will head into town tomorrow to pick up a new cap and hopefully this will resolve the overheating issue

    Here is the damaged cap.
