Sat in a que for a mcdonalds earlier, and the temp went right up to 100, and a heard a little pop kinda noise.

Now last time i heard a similar noise to that was twice when waiting in a que for about 5 minutes, then the thrid time whilst waiting for a mate, my radiator blew up!!! Took the whole side out, but then the radiator was quite groggy!.

I can't remember what the problem was last time, so could anyone shed any light as to what this could be??? Ta.

have you checked the fan cuts in when it is meant to?? It's normally the switch dies or the fuse blows, just leave it runnign till the fan cuts in, if it over heats and it doesn't cut in then there's the problem.

my old car ( same as yours) went to 100, till the fan cut in.
