Cooling problem

first guess would be stat, then water pump!

yeah, try the stat first, and let it tickover for at least half an hour with the rad cap off, they can be a bugger to bleed.

Annoyingly I don't even have a socket set at home to have the stat out! The shame!

I shall get it out tomorrow, I'll pop into wilkos at get an el cheapo socket set.

Stat is only a few months old, as the stat wasn't working when I got it

i too would suggest the stat, ive never had to bleed out air locks, always just filled it and drove, car has never overheated yet and i had it bout 8 years.

Cheers guys it was the stat, it had a new one a month or two ago so I thought it can't be the stat

Sorted now and going well, so well the rear spoiler tried to escape last night

Hopefully I can get some mods done now rather than fixing it all the time.
