<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This isn’t the usual one ....”my car always
runs hot; what’s the cure?” etc</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">No, this is my very own original.....</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Background:-</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span>1)<span> </span></span>The
car, MkII BT7, has never had overheating issues before today.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span>2)<span> </span></span>It
has a new, 12 month, modern design radiator.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span>3)<span> </span></span>It
has the correct type(original design) Smiths sleeved
thermostat. (5 years old +/-).</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span>4)<span> </span></span>The
waterpump was in the car when I bought the car +/- 25 yrs ago.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Today’s symptoms:- </p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span>1)<span> </span></span>I
took it out to the pub today and, on returning, I noticed that
there was HEAT and then that the gauge was off the scale.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span>2)<span> </span></span>There
was plenty of coolant in the rad and it didn’t seem overly
hot.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span>3)<span> </span></span>I
didn’t have much time, but I got the impression that the rad
was not blowing steam or making more of a “cooling-off noise”
than usual.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span>4)<span> </span></span>I
also got the impression that the engine was hotter than the
rad.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is this typical of a failed water pump?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How can one differentiate between
thermostat issues and waterpump issues?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any ideas?</p>
