had my 3.o elite just over a year and has just started to heat up really quickly even when been left all night. thermo cuts in as usual which sometimes drops a bit and sometimes a lot. engine when warm used to run just under 80 but now runs just over 80, or sometimes runs slightly hotter. goes up and down sometimes. flushed water system but still doing same. already got new thermo and pump as thinkin this might be problem. heating went also but after flush seems better but not as good as it was. gonna try flushing again but this time in both directions as it looks like this helps. any other suggestions?

hello mate i'm going threw a similar thing as well..i bought a halfords radiator acid flush £5ish put in ran around for 50 odd miles flushed out refilled ran around another 20 odd miles then flushed out out again..temp woz slightly better off then went up again? but then realized i'd 4got 2 replace antifreeze ??(derr  ) added that and woz much better
so if it worked for me then its gotta work 4 u chief??
let me know how u get on..
and remember engine running and heater on full when refilling buddy.it helps pull airlocks out!

flushed heater matrix and heater now toasty warm once again. flushed it normal way whick not a lot of muck came out but when flushed in reverse loads of crap came out. car temp still slighly higher tho. still got to change pump and thermo tho so hope this will cure it.
