How hard was it to undo the viscous nut? Was it overheating or running very hot? I'm getting tired of running with the heater on , especially when its raining & I have to shut the roof & windows.
Did sethsmate sort his? :question

Yes and no ......
Water pump changed, thermostat changed, radiator changed - guess what - seemingly little difference. Normal running temp is around the 93/95 mark when driving locally and solo.
I've flushed the cooling system, and put in Vauxhall's own antifreeze at a 50/50 strength. We're off on hols soon, and I don't know what to expect with the caravan in tow!
I've also done an engine oil flush, put in Vauxhall's own 10-40 semi-synthetic, and obviously changed the filter too.
I don't know what else to do - anyone got any further ideas?

Took the pump out, it's perfect. Viscous came off on first tap.
Took out stat tested seems to start opening at 90 ,open at 100 ordered new one and put car back together , Letting hylomar cure on stat union will report on no stat results tomorrow if instant gasket works.

I connected a fat sack pump to the top hose, water flowed freely through the block and rad. I started the engine, water came out the top hose but not as fast as I expeted even when revving.
I dont want to change the rad & get the same result as sethsmate.
