I'm afraid it could be any of those things. Taking out the thermostat *might* be a bad idea. I think it's impossible to get to normally so don't bother ! ;-) I'll suggest eliminating the water pump since I had a leak from a bearing on mine and all it did was to lose coolant slowly. What colour is the coolant in the header tank ? Is it cloudy ? When did you last change the coolant ? When was the cooling system last flushed ? I do assume you have an approved additive to the water ! Graham
