momo88 what sort of price are we talking with that mate? I feel like i want to sell the thing now, but ive just spent all that cash on getting the head gasket done:thumbup1:it did'nt cost much,think it was just under £40
not sure if they do a plastic one
how tofind out
remove the rad cap only when cold
start engine and rev to 20rpm
look in the rad,if the coolant circulate,thats your problem
the coolant should only circulate when warm or 65 degrees
anything below this,it should be closed

sounds like you might have an air lock in the system to me, had the same problem on my Skyline after i changed the turbo gaskets, took me ages to bleed the air out of it, Has the water level dropped in the radiator since you've driven it?
