Yes, in a V8 that was suffering from coolant loss and pressurisation of the system. I also tried a 20lb cap and eventually blew the bottom hose. Neither made any useful difference, eventually I fixed

All are pressurised systems, the expansion tank allows a higher rad line/lower bonnet line i.e. when the rad was moved right forwards, and the expansion tank still has an overflow. The expansion in e

Yeah, I am WAY too close to Moss. Far too easy for me to drive over there when I need (or just think I need) something! Obviously, lister's don't want to pay $10 shipping on a $3 radiator cap. Unfort

No, it was nothing like that. I didn't see it as an ad for Moss. It is usually quite helpful to use Moss part numbers to describe parts since most of us have catalogues for reference and ordering. Es

Thanks for all the responses. I will be trying each one in turn to diagnose the problem. In answer to some questions that you asked, the radiator is not "boiling over" but when the outside air temp

Have a radiator shop check to see if combustion gases are entering the cooling system. It is done by checking the coolant for carbon monoxide. Cheers, CR

Hi Sandy, First of all, you need to be certain that it really is overheating. One way is to loosen rad cap so pressure does not build up, then drive around until engine is completely warmed up and to

What do you mean by overheating? You can only call it that if it is losing coolant or steaming, a simple rise in temp gauge is not necessarily overheating, and the gauge, sender or stabiliser could b

I noticed you didn't mention replacing the pressure cap (10 lbs., Moss 202-090) on the radiator. Did you replace that? Lack of pressure will cause it to boil over at a lower temperature. You can als
