    already did ...but there is nothing more they can do ...as it was working fine in the previous car donor.

    only suggested solution was to go full sized as my current ebay twin core alloy rad could probably not handle the heat (maybe shit fin cores etc).

    If the previous car was running a full size, I would say to upgrade, or even just see if you can borrow one off someone you know that has one kicking around and see what the difference is

    yeh tru ..ive spend shit loads already on the most easiest fix.

    now the big mulla comes down to a full sized radiator.

    prob is i dont know of any1 who can lend me a full sized rad or even a half size rad KOYO or similar (better quality than the one i have) and test trial it.

    *sigh again*

    If you want to make sure it's not a headgasket, get the car to operating temp, take out all the spark plugs & stick a screwdriver in each cylinder one at a time and after you have removed it, see if there is any condensation on the screwdriver. If you get condensation on the screwdriver after a particular cylinder, that is the cylinder where the headgasket is not sealing correctly. If nothing shows, try cranking the engine over with no plugs in and see if any coolant shoots up and out.

    Otherwise carry out a TK head check on the cooling system to see if you are getting any combustion gases into the cooling system

    try a full size raditator first i reakon

    pretty much with the tk head tester you get the thing and you pour the dy in it, start car and remove the radiator cap, run and put the tester over where the cap should be, hold down firm and if it changes colour you have a problem could be pouress head or block ect
