I need to pick that heli coil kit this week and
that requires some freeway work.
I cant understand a few things after fitting all these new bits.
Like why it boiled every 100 mtrs, where as before I have done the same
trip with no dramas

Glad you got that rock out of your nostrill can be damn annoying lol

Strange, I would have thought that it would get hotter just sitting there with no airflow.
If it's still getting hot under load could it be an internal problem?

Its all still pointing that way. My view hasnt changed from the start. Unfortunately you need to probably rip the head off before you cause more issues. If it keeps getting worse piston damage can occur along with the possibility of bending a rod.

To start go and get a gas test done.

"Air lock" will do that, ZD30 is notorious for that, it is especially adept at doing it once you load the engine up a bit, idling or fast idling it will never do it.

One way is to stop every 100 m to purge air out of it then top up the difference, LOL.

I still don't follow what was the original problem after 24 pages....

Agree anything under 100 is fine. I think oem thermostats don't fully open until 95

Agree... indeed if it doesn't get to 88 I would be worried

So went for a drive to pay a bill and pick up a heli coil kit
a bit of freeway work all fine then steam pouring out the scoop.
Bummer split the other heater hose, so cut the dodgey bit off
and push it back on and used some worm drive clamps that
were in the car, I HATE those ones you need to push together
to remove Grrrr,,,,,, Any way fixed on the side of the road and topped it up
and away we went, Only took 5 mins, I have the Gates PN from
Mudski and it was on my to get list,
Oh temps were great not sure Im back Ill replace those hoses first lol

So that's a second hose that gave way in a week. Why now and not before? More pressure in the system ?

Most likely. After I had the head done and the radiator repaired, it was only a short time before the water pump seal gave out. i would also replace the pressure cap on the system just to make sure it is releasing at the right pressure.
