djoptix Posted April 9, 2021 Author Share Posted April 9, 2021 Shot up to 130, now hovering around 110 having been rock solid at 90 until that point. Rad top hose is hot hot hot, but coolant tank is cold. Thoughts? Thermostat? Water pump isn't electric so I don't think it can be that, unless it's just stopped pumping? Time to call the aa?

sporty-shite Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Fucks sake. I feel bad now. It never missed a beat for us, and it did a few long journeys, too. Genuinely gutted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4lljoints Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 It's an ALFA - it's just testing you a bit. It'll be worth it. 147s are great little things. Well bought! 👍😁 Marm Toastsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
