Hi,
This isn't the usual one ...."my car always runs hot; what's the cure?" etc
No, this is my very own original.....
Background:-
1) The car, MkII BT7, has never had overheating issues before today.
2) It has a new, 12 month, modern design radiator.
3) It has the correct type(original design) Smiths sleeved thermostat.
(5 years old +/-).
4) The waterpump was in the car when I bought the car +/- 25 yrs ago.
Today's symptoms:-
1) I took it out to the pub today and, on returning, I noticed that
there was HEAT and then that the gauge was off the scale.
2) There was plenty of coolant in the rad and it didn't seem overly
hot.
3) I didn't have much time, but I got the impression that the rad was
not blowing steam or making more of a "cooling-off noise" than usual.
4) I also got the impression that the engine was hotter than the rad.
Is this typical of a failed water pump?
How can one differentiate between thermostat issues and waterpump issues?
Any ideas?
Simon
