Tiny Bubbles in Radiator What to do Next

[Cuppa]

B&&^$%%%$ds. It boils my blood when I hear of mechanics doing that to people, Cuppa. I am glad you weren't stranded a few hundred kilometres from anywhere.

Yeah, it’s a problem when travelling, they know your not coming back. I thought a large, high profile dealership would have been reasonable ‘protection’ as they would have a reputation to protect. Not so. In hindsight I think they were good at replacing parts on current models, but had no interest in ‘real’ mechanics.

That is sound advice regarding the test kit. Do you have a link for the kit, please?

TBH I’d not actually looked into buying one, but had seen them mentioned on the net. Googling turns up mainly overseas sources but the following are in Oz

Do you have an air bleed screw on the back of the motor?
If not raise the front {park up hill] and invert a cut off coke bottle into the radiator{cut base off]
this will raise your fill point and hopefully remove any air in the system

Are the TD42 and ZD30 radiator caps the same pressure?

Sorry to go off topic, but does the tb45 have an air bleed screw. Just for future reference.

I think they do cause a few mates with challenge trucks fitted John Bennet water pump/cooling systems to their motors.
I can remember a reference to this bleed point
