You’d have mucky coolant - or a hell of a lot of smoke out the back. It’s just new car nerves - esprit engine bays do get hot - that’s why the cam belts are 2 years. Enjoy the car and get confidence gently. I used to check fluids before every drive in my first one 😬 And twice on the V8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Popular Post GreenGoddess Posted October 22, 2022 Author Solution Popular Post Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Just to put this thread to bed... the car is now driving perfectly with no overheating issues. The original problem was obviously an airlock. Today I finally put in the correct coolant and installed a new aluminium header tank. Thank you all so much for your help and advice, I really appreciate it. 🙂 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a beauty 😊👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
