So car has been making some bad sounds this week. Took it to Kris yesterday as I thought it could have been the alternator, turns out seized tensioner.
So that came off, then replaced for a new one, then oil change, then off to Birmingham, then Ace then centre london then home 420miles in total.
Coolant system is still pressurizing, but its not really affecting the temp of the car. Yesterday rad warning light came on in traffic on the way to biringham, but then went out once we got moving, topped up the system once we had left brum.
Then was fine until we arrived in Portsmouth, it did get over 90 twice on the way home, but I was flooring it both times, let off a bit and cooled back down to 80.
Just re bled the system, which will last all of about a week.
