Is holding pressure in the cooling system really that bad?
Mine holds pressure for up to 2 days or more, but still runs normally and does not use coolant.
It did start to over heat late last year, but that was the viscus fan hub, changed that and no more over heating.

Yours is "boiling" over though isn't it John? It's pushing coolant out the overflow not just holding pressure?

Its been getting warm,,, as I normally pull over before things get too hot
Somethings up thats for sure. Hopefully I can find something out of whack over the weekend

With the thermostat gasket, is it just a thin layer of RTV or just use the gasket dry,??

Theres no gasket just an oring around the thermostat. Bitta goo wont hurt though. If you can hold out until next week i could come over for a couple of hours. My days are busier than ever now i have to take two kids to two different schools, run the store inbetween, then pick them up again.

Sounds good as Irish has offered as well.
I'm lying to myself about being able to do anything.
Can't swing on a spanner as that will hurt, that's why
I brought the 12v wheel nut remover.
I'll plod along and do some of the easier stuff like remove the radiator
Again thanks for the offer, means a lot,
