It will be a sad day when petrol cars become deceased.

Not bothered about derv as it should only be allowed in a bus or lorry.

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. 

No is the word, Albs. Remember?

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 ?   

Overheating and no heat from the vents sounds like a lack of coolant circulation to me. Has it got some air in the system? Or exhaust gas?

It wont happen. 

I agree 

It wont happen. 

My start/stop battery is seven years old and the bastard still switches off the engine if I forget to press the button. That's means it's at least 85% charged.

The RRS is a 2007 it has had a total of three batteries from new so far , so this will be number 4 when I fit it tomorrow, not unusual at all apparently according to the RR forum, my old  Hyundai Terracan was 14 years old when I got rid of it  in 2019 & still had the original battery.

I thought it was 2035.

But perhaps the Labour party wants to demonstrate how keen they are so save the world.

2035 is for hybrids, I believe. Not sure if it's just plug-in hybrids but, even if it is, nothing stopping you buying one and just not charging it.....ever.
