At the weekend went for a small drive just over 150 mile round trip, coolant temp ok but no fans. Stopped for a few minutes with engine running while i paid for a few parts,temp was in the red and nearly off the gauge. Found a garage and sat for a good 30 mins while temp came down,so i could take cap off to fill up with water. Topped up with water and drove back no problems. I let a local mechanic look at it, he has noticed that the heater pipes have been bypassed, could this be the problem??? We made a test lead for the fans, only one works, easy to fix. We checked the coolant level, looked ok until both of us pressed/squeezed rad hoses, nothing happened coolant level didnt rise. So tomorrow morning going to flush rad and engine out to see if that works and reconnect the heater. I hope this will solve the problem, is there anything i should look out for when filling coolant up again???.
