Welcome aboard pal, I started going on forums many years ago just to gain knowledge on problems with my car, it's how most people find forums in the first place, always welcome to ask away

Thanks for the warm welcome, I know this in the wrong place to ask but since I'm here. Car has got rather hot last ccouple of days, it's spat most the water in the expansion tank but not sucked it back in the rad. And when it dose get hot u pick up revs and the temp drops,soon as u slow the temp rises?? Water pump??

[Miggs]

I'd check the thermostat first, take it out and put in a pan of cold water then bring to the boil and if it's ok you will see it open

[Jay762]

Agree with Miggs - sounds like thermostat

[DaMoZ]

Found problem lookes like the rad cap is leaking. Can anyone recommend a suitable cap pressure needed for the car??

[Miggs]

0.9 bar or 13psi, both equate to the same thing
