Hi gents, have a bit of a potential disaster post possibly...
As some of you know my brother just recently purchased his new Patrol after someone rode off his old GU.
Anyways, Its the 6.5 chev non turbo in a GU cab chassis done by Brunswick in WA (not sure of exact type).
He just drove it back from WA to Melbourne and it ran like a dream.
Long story short it was a bloody hot day today and he drove up a long and steep hill to Christmas Hills from Yarra Glen (some of you know the hill) and it heated up to almost boiling but the temperature gauge read 3/4.
It was fine after the hill and cooled on the downhill.
Went to see a customer and it sat in the carpark for an hour and a half so cooled a bit too.
Drove 10 minutes down the road and it boiled again.
He got it home and is in his shed now looking at it but any advice is welcomed.
Praying it has not done the head of course.
The radiator overflow was pissing out hot water so we can eliminate thermostat shut (it has twin thermos too).
