Omega General Help / Re: coolant pressurising and gushing out

Well, tried a new cap, only to find that it wouln't tighten onto the expansion tank, on inspection i found the thread on the tank had partially gone. I bought a new expansion tank from main dealer (none in scrap yards) cost £38. fitted it with the new cap, and PROBLEM SOLVED, I think the old cap tightened up then slipped the theads when it was under pressure.
WOW and i was thinking head gaskets and everything,. Not cheap for what it was but it fixed it for me.
THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP ...

Thanks for all your replies , so far
The radiator pipe at the top gets hot quickly, the pipe at the bottom, stays cool for a time, then gets hot.
The heater in the car is boiling hot
I am going to try the easiest option next, and try a new header tank cap
Will let you know !!!
( by the way, fitted a new thermostat, while it was out) what a job that was, on a v6 as well !!!

no water leaks, just flushed rad out again, totally clear. Took thermostat out, (what a job), and teasted it on the cooker, that seems fine, Any suggestions ?

Hi, this is my first post. I am really at a loss, please help
I have flushed out the radiator, and tried to flush the engine, but cant get any water through it
if i run the car, it pressurises the systen so much that the pipes go hard and it gushes out of the header tank
the guage (both in the car, and on a code reader) says the temp is around 99 degrees
both pipes on radiator are hot, heater is hot. i really dont want it to be anything serious, but i guess it will be
rad fans also seem ok
any ideas
