Been driving it about with no water in it , hence why the fans aren't working hence why it keeps playing up i presume the coolant sensor needs coolant to work. I only realised late last night that my temp gauge is stuck after i over heated it. Filled it up with water apart from it now smoking a lot it drives better. I think I may retire from this forum before the abuse starts ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |

Yeah has I feel i do now owe it one i probably just swap the engine when i come back from traveling, I'm sure the up rated cams are causing it to run funny , and I seem to remember it being quick enough before they were fitted, tho i didn't drive it for 3 years. Shame i realised when it was too late ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |

Oh dear.I also wouldn't be surprised if the HG wasn't gone, mine dumped all the coolant through a hole in the rad and I only realised when I looked down and the temp gauge was really, really high. A month later HG symptoms appeared and slowly got worse and worse until it completely went. Thought you had a compression test and a sniff test though. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

Yeah they did that was 180 miles ago now , the bottom hose is leaking i just didn't realise how much it was leaking, i then just gave up and thrashed the hell out of it which caused it to over heat ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |

I'm going to get a new bottom hose fitted then just run it about see how i get on, I'll probably keep my eyes open for a complete engine has it's been tapping since I had the cams fitted anyway.Neglects a strong word just something ive over looked.  ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |
