Do the cambelt! whilst your doing that you may aswell get the waterpump done as its on the same drive belt.

 

Change the stat and coolant temp sensor, and bleed it properly.

 

It not going to cost the earth so you might as well

Update....!

 

Changed cam belt kit (gates kit)

Changed water pump

Changed thermostat (old one only opening   millimetre!!)

Filled up with antifreeze and water.....................

 

And guess what.... 

 

Bottom hose STILL NOT EVEN REMOTELY WARM!!

Rad isn't even warm... top hose is hot and so are every other hose, good heat from cabin, epic in fact!

 

So the only thing left to change out is the RAD.. 33 quid from fast rads so I can't even be bothered to flush my existing one out for  sake of that little amount I may aswel change it and know it's brand new 

 

So the saga continues :-( lol
