Hi to everyone

an update on my running hot galaxy mk 1 2.8 v6

Was gonna get the local garage to replace suspect thermostat and flush coolant system

as i said before the symtom`s are the temp creeps up after a mid/long run to just under the red on the gauge but with the heaters on full/max temp it stays there...just...

the bottom hose to the radiator is cold ..why i was guessing thermostat

water is returning to the expansion bottle via the little hose on top

 

dropped the car today...and fair play to the garage they phoned me and said they had put the dye in the water system and it turned green indicating a blown head gasket

i really like the car but cannot justify spending all that money to get them done...can anyone recommend any of those head gasket sealer`s or any other solution to prelong its life
