[mrmattholmes]

more than likely thermostat mate, if the heater doesnt get hot this will be you prob

[liam_b]

thats the thing mate i just changed that and the heaters do get hot but not all the time but i dont get how its leaking from there aint air ment to go in not water lol

[liam_b]

could a mod move this into the Engine/Performance section please

[Sean]

no need for it to be moved mate, it's in the correct section ;)
