any idea whats goin off ???

[gsb876]

i just stuck the hose in the left han side bottle cause the measure was only on half , the water isnt coming out of their its coming out the rad which has burst , i wanted to know if the bursting could be anything to do with a water seal failure in the engine ? ive done both the bubble check and checking the pipes and they ar fine they arnt pressurising or expanding so hopefully its all down to a dodgey rad !!! i was worried with the bit of mayo in the oil lid but the dipstick has nothing on it except nice clan oil

Alot of people panic when they see alittle mayo in the filler neck, dont over worry yourself unless theres loads and its happening every week, mine used to have alittle bit every 2 months or so but never caused an issue ?

There is a simple way of telling if you have a leak too, do all the toping up so you are happy its full (cold oviously) then run it up to Hot (so the Rads too hot to touch) then Turn off. Listen for a Boiling noise, if you can here it you have a leak if not you haven\'t and you just have not filled it enough This is a simple way of telling becouse water Under presure Boils at a Higher Temp so if you have a leak it will be at standard Boiling temp so the hotter parts of the Motor will boil the water.

But the Down side to this is it may Boil if you have not filled it enough. FD\'s are a pain in the rear to fill a new Rad no matter how well you think you\'ve done it it will need topping up next day.
