right please help some1!!
recently my cars been runnin a bit higher than normal and yesterday it got really hot not hot enough 2 turn the light on but really hot..

so i checked the level and it was fine so i renewed it anyway, checked there was no milky oil in the rocker, and there wasnt, then checked the fan was workin and it was, so i assumed it was the thermostat, so i replaced it, its not runnin as high, but its still alot higher than normal, ive also noticed the heatin is playin up, it does not remain a level temperature... will be f***in hot then just drop 2 cold....

would this be my heater matrix??
or am i completely off??

cheers 4 lookin guys n girls

is this just a case of letting it run then undoing the valve till water comes out?

2 ways I know off, bleeding the system there is a guide on here if you look for it. or you can take the cap of the header tank and run the car. Obviously dont drive it or anything just leave it idleing.

Mine seemed to run a little hotter than i thought it should mate and so i changed the two temp sensors by the thermostat and now never runs above half
