Time to liquidate some assets, you seem to have a shed full of treasures.

Parting with stuff collected might not be easy.

When times are tough, tough decisions need to be made

I did my water pump last year, the pump was fine but the viscus hub was shot, the hub and pump are not available separately on the DI motors.
when I turned the fan, I could not feel any difference between hot or cold.
It was not to difficult, to change, but a pita to get to some of the bolts.
The electric fan on the air-conditioning condenser on my truck cycles on and off, depending on the temp.
I do not think the hub is your problem, my temp would go up slowly, and it never boiled.

Thanks Paul. So atleast its doable if need be then.

I think its worth a Crack. . You'll at least see what's floating around in there and general condition of it all even if you can't reach the thermostat..

how small is the head? Is it able to check radiator cores?

The head is a BIC pen size in diameter. We could stick it in the rad and have a look. Its only a cheap camera but it works.

Sounds like you have the same problem I recently had except I didn't stick gunky sh*t into my cooling system, my gu8 would run hot, few times got up to 110-115c, Wasn't losing coolant, but would pressurise the system after driving and not let the coolant back into the system and it would get stuck in the overflow tank..

The solution? A brand new radiator, Mine was over 70% blocked and this is only a 3 and a bit year old car mind you, Cooling specialist said they should be flushed every year or they get build up in them and clog up. Since I changed to new radiator, Running temp 86-92c with 92 being full noise and 600+ egt up a hill......

Mine also doesn't run a front ac fan.

I'm thinking it it has blocked the thermostat it's possible it's blocked some cores too..
Worth a look if ya can imo..
