right engine running very hot, blew my coolant pipe yesterday, dont know how pipe inner had rotted, fixed it last night, but now engine running constantly red hot, well temp light on, took out my thermostat which was stuck closed but problem still persists.

am hoping with every part of my body crossed that my head isnt gone.

am going for a sniff test at 10 but just bled my coolant system through and air just keeps pushing through, rev engine and after a while it settles down but then starts to bubble slowly again,

is this a sign that my head is gone????

am i looking at new car or engine???

what prices am i lookin at glad of any help

Take the oil filler cap off & look for a creamy white/brown gunge if you have this then a new head gasket is needed.

could be the heater matrix

You might have a blocked pipe or water pump, I'd suggest cleaning them all through bleed it again and if this doesn't sort it like rapid said have a look at the heater matrix as this may still have air in it!
