kind of....damage was fixed and never really heard from the guy again...is a member here, though jordy did do his fair bit of damage all by himself to the poor thing and by memory it now lives at dundee's
maybe a different coolant might help. Whats the fins like on the radiator, and when was it last flushed out. should never be that hot unless there is something wrong. My old sunny after doing more then 750000kms was still running on the original radiator and never got that high even when driving up north in australia were temps are much higher then that. Or your thermostat might be goneski. Just a few things i can think of that might help
if i was still in perth i would give you a helping hand and am sure a few people in perth could. sounds like just a head gasket would do the job. The only place i can think of is riccadello motors in highgate (used to work there), it was a shell but i dont know if it is still going. basil the owner is a very good mechanic and have quite alot of good people there but dont know what sort of price you'd be lookning at but you could just give them a call to find out
gone to the courts im guessing...hope all comes out good in the end. But that is the thing i hate about working for yourself., always gotta cover your arse cause people will take advantage wherever they can....just like mik
