That's a pretty nadgered set of head gaskets, and no mistake. ;D

More like 'what gasket'! I think most of it had disappeared into the coolant system & oil ways ;D

Just had the Boys Tech2 on it whilst having lunch letting her tick over.
Gauge temp and listed temp in display + data seem to match up - or at least are constant.
Whilst sitting there - fans cam on and off seemingly all ok, so the temp on tech2 display ranged from 94 to 100.  :-\

So today all seemingly running as expected. Will further monitor.

I do hate these intermittent specials.

Could be a fan switch or relay just starting to play up, I guess?

Was not reading the instrument panel temp under the body option.
 :-\

Done that now and that was consistant, but as said, reading under the engine sensor reading.

Thinking about replacing the fan switch - not sure if you can get 3rd party ones or if just VX.

I thought my head gaskets were quite bad when I changed them, but these are 10 times worse!  ::)

Indeed, and never in a million years only a few months old (apparently passenger side replaced just before TheDaddy bought it in the summer)  >:(, I think TheDaddy is within his rights to feel a bit peeved  >:(

(For the record, I have no reason to disbelieve the previous owner, when he said he paid somebody a decent wedge of money to do the work)
