i only bought the car on sunday so i'm still getting to know her but the oil level is on the minimum, the sump gasket needs changing and i'm not suspisious of the oil, i had to top the water up the monday morning after buying her, again, just a drop and hasn't used any since,

anyway, tonight i drained the water out of her and run a hose through her, alot of dirty water passed through, i then filled with water and put some flushing agent in there, i had her running for a long time to try and get the air locks out, gave her a run and came back, the car wasn't half as hot as she was the night before, it says to run for 50miles then re-drain and fill with anti-freeze mix.
maybe just blocked/obstructed pipes or rad? i really hope so, will keep you posted, might just change the thermostat anyway,
thanks everyone
