i swear fellas... i just bled the system again last night.. fan kicks in too.. plus i still have the buddy club fan switch installed which turns the fans on at around 80*C which should technically mean i have more cool water in the radiator as requried when thermostat opens.
Jase: not measuring the temps, just stating the tolerances of my cooling devices. I don't actually know the temps but the water definitely boils. the 77*C was the opening of the gates racing low temp thermo and the 90*C is the opening of the Tridon thermos i boguht at supercheap auto.
I put my oem 1.1bar cap on last night too while bleeding my system and the spring system broke and ended up in the radiator (luckilly got stuck in the ribs) will post pics tonight... but i've put the 1.3bar back on in the meantime.
On another note, before i had my rebuild i had a massive water pump leak where i had to keep topping the radiator up with water every 30mins of driving... because this also boiled a lot, i've got a lot of gunk in the radiator now (possible rust?) which i should've flushed but haven't... is this a contributing factor?
