Hi All, Thanks for your replies, I have 3 workshop manuals which state a 13lb cap is correct. After a short journey it has pushed out the coolant below the radiator tubes when I remove the cap. There is no sign of a drip or any external leaks at all. Someone has suggested mounting the radiator higher to remove the air lock issue. Another suggested a bigger radiator that goes right across the front, rather than the one with wings that I have. Mr Pete Lewis however has hit the nail so to speak, I measured the radiator cap depth at 18-19mm the neck is 20-21mm EUREKA. I am ordering a cap now from Rimmer Brothers.

Yes it's me again, I changed the head gasket but it still pushes coolant out of the radiator every journey there is no outward signs of it. There appears no coolant in the oil. The starts easily car runs like a dream, but is becoming a nightmare of worry as at least a pint of fluid is ejected every journey. The radiator and engine block have been flushed and refilled. The radiator cap is 13lb as described I am at a loss to know what to do. I don't even know if it's overheating it doesn't appear to be too hot. The 3 workshop manuals all say top up weekly or monthly but not every time you use the car. One says fill the radiator completely one says leave an inch gap. It's such a shame. Can anyone help??

Hi All, I recently purchased Henry Herald from Liversedge near Leeds. Every time I ran it only for short distances it blew water from the radiator. I have replaced the Head Gasket, fitted a 75 degree thermostat (there wasn't one in it) I drained and refilled the cooling system with non water coolant, and that seems to have cured it, though I haven't been very far in it. Has anyone fitted a water temperature gauge to a 1200 system? Has anyone fitted an expansion tank? what can anyone advise please? Jem 1 of 3
