right then heres the problem recentely got it back on the road my first problem is the car is always over heating it gets that hot when i turn the car of the fan stays on and now and then my temp light comes on. but the most annoying thing about that my fan dont turn of afterwords i have to sit in it and wait and start the car to turn the fan off and when im driving the car and i press my clutch the car will rev it self about 1500 - 2000 rpm its anoying as my car is low i have to ride the clutch to get over speed bumps so i cant just not slow down its so annoying and such a petrol waste revving up :/

Air lock? Tried bleeding the coolant?

the temperature light shouldn't come on at all in normal operation. There's something wrong. Most likely the system isn't bled properly.

Do a REAL GOOD bleed through. See what that does. Remember not to use just water, but antifreeze also - very important.

If that doesn't solve it, more diagnosis is required. Check the thermostat - easy to remove, drop it in a cup of just boiled water, see if it opens. If not, buy a new one. £5-£10.

If it opens fine, then there's something else wrong. Could be as simple as a blocked radiator, or as bad as a warped head causing overheating.

Post back with the results of the first two items I've listed and we'll pick it up from there.

yeah no air locks thats the first thing we done was bleed and get rid of air locks, alright im busy for the next few days so ill try it on sunday if its just water could that be a reason also as for now i ran out of anti freeze and had to put some in?

[Ross]

Running just water shouldn't see the light coming on, no. The light on really is a pretty stark warning so needs investigating for sure. Honestly, try another bleed first (they are notoriously stubborn) then the thermostat, then post back here and we'll have another think for you :)

alright ill try it soon as i get a free hour probably tomorrow after college :) thats if i make it there aha!
