   :w all:
   This is just my way of checking to see if Im right,
   
   
   My temp gauge once again is going wild picking up dropping picking up dropping. (quickly)
   
   this happend back last year aswell - ended up being a head gasket before my engine blew ! but i was told at first it was just a thermostat.
   if anyone has any idea how to stop her doing this pleaseeeeeee feel free to explain it all to me.
   
   I am literally at the end of my tether!

   If your heater blows hot air its not a airblock.
   
   I would flush coolant, Change waterpump and thermostat.
   
   Might aswell get cambelt kit while ur there changing waterpump

   Sounds like the thermostat to me. Either it is faulty or it has been put in the wrong way round - the spring side should point away from the radiator

   nah rad doesnt seem to be getting hot, drove to ponty though and then realised she had no water, filled her and shes still doing it
   
   been told it may be a wiring problem.
