was having the tracking done at the weekend when we got showered in hot water - the header tank cracked and had a jet coming out of the top of it.
i picked one up from the breakers today and was running it up and realised the fan wasnt cutting in unless you gave it a spin. Got it going properly with a hammer and some WD-40 but the car keeps boiling over before the fan cuts in. I done it about 7 times this evening.
Big fear is that head gasket is kaput but the optimist in me is hoping for a major air lock.
The amount of water it spat out and had replaced i dont think it has any coolant left in it so i stopped for the night. Gonna empty it tomorrow, clean it out and refill it properly with my fingers crossed.
Anyone got any other ideas????
PS - no sludge inside the oil cap at all
