    right my mums car is having abit of trouble as it seems to over heat abit as she describes, the RED light came on once and she stopped to car to let it cool down, but recently its been having trouble starting and the heaters seem to work warm and then turns cold after 5-10mins, and pressure seems to build up, if i was to take the radiator cap off it will gush out, also can smell abit of fumes or something if i was to take oil lid of and put my nose to it

    could the thermo stat cause the heater problems going cold and make the rad water get pressure rised or is it the dreading head gasket going going GONE

    thanks adam19

    yeah what i was thinking but hoping not lol

    have checked there is a slight most littlest bit of mayo looking stuff. but its no more than this face , cant seem to see any more in there, but then there could be loads out of seeing as you cant look down there to look in only a little tinyest on the lid ahhh

    just didnt know if that could be normal and also didnt no if the therstat had something to do with it
