Nothing is blocking the water. The cooling system is just over-pressuring with exhaust gasses due to the blowing head gasket, hence impairing circulation  [smiley=evil.gif]

Maybe so, but it's funny to watch you bite  ;D ;)

Of course not. It's the cracked head.  [smiley=evil.gif]

Only half. Constant hissing from the expansion tank cap, gets worse when gunned but it hasn't ground to a halt completely in a column of steam as it would have done by now had it been the gasket. I do hope I'm wrong...

I've been racking my brains but I still can't think of anything else to try before the head comes off.

Except a check for fumes in the expansion tank.. did you ever do this? Wouldn't prove much at this stage because either way I think you need a look inside but might be interesting.

Haven't had it sniffed (I live in Brackley - electricity only made it here last year, we're hoping to have running water to the town soon ;)), but cannot smell anything. Also, not bubbling in tank...
