Have slight problem with the nova
Within a couple of minutes the coolant temp goes up to over 100oC- some times about 110!
Only the drivers side coolant hoses seem to get hot to begin with then once the fan cuts in the others get hot.
Any ideas?
Thought the thermostat might be fucked but the above shows its opening.
Ive removed some of the coolant hoses since fitting the tb's and re routed some others... could that be the cause?
Thanks Rob
