should be free mate all he does is puts a turkey baster in the header tanks and the water mixes with a solution and give the result

Philip said they used to sell the sniff test kits on ebay..I checked but none there..maybe places like halfauds sell them..?

Did you bleed the system everytime you filled it up ? If not possible airlock.

Fill it up bleed it from cold, then try again :). This could solve all your problems.

you mean drain all the water then fill it all again ?

There are bleed points on the rads iirc for the stilo's this makes sure the system is air free..

so where are these bleed points and what tool will i need ? i assume the bumper will have to leave the scene for this job ?

take the engine cover off . and behind it there should be the coolant pipes . on one of them there is like a tape/stopcock kinder thing . it has a slotted screwdriver bit on it but u should be able to turn with your hand . turn the engine on and the water should start dripping out . keep squeesing the pipes to help the circulation. after about 5 mins tighten the tap back up and leave for a little bit if the pipes go hard and there is no bubbles in the header tank you should be good . if not repeat the process :)

i'll have a look at this ... right NOW ! be back soon
