you might be right. 14 degrees here today, in December ffs !
Trying to wind the little Tortoise down into hibernation temps is proving difficult.

I dont mind trying to find the problem, but if its head gasket failure I wont be doing a top end rebuild.
If it is that, it will be a matter of deciding if its worth paying a garage to do it, or sell as spares / repairs and then buy another car.

Not sure yet Kevin. Had a new waterpump when the cambelt was done about 6 months ago, by local garage.
It only happens once in a while though. It was ok for about a month, but then it happened again last night.
Can try bleeding it, and maybe buy a sniff tester type thing ?
Thanks for the input.

That reminds me. Mine is still giving trouble.
A week or two ago swmbo spent ages on the phone with them and they talked her through resetting the router ( I think).
They said the build hadnt been finished at the factory, but they had now completed it remotely.
It seemed ok for while, but is now dropping out again on average once per day.

Frack baby frack. Lots of cheap gas then.
And apparently it could cause Blackpool to disappear into the sea.
Cant see a downside at all.

Tried to diagnose an intermittent issue on sons 05 Civic.
Every once in a while the temp gauge climb to the top and at the same time very little heat comes from the vents with heater turned up to max.
Im thinking possibly a sticky thermostat ?

No worries Terbs. Thanks for the info.
Tbh, I think I would rather do without than pay £139 for a length of rubber though.

I was under the impression they became very expensive and then no longer available.
