Q: coming out of the front grill and cutting out, filled it up with water and oil, then it worked for a bit, this morning after sitting all night with water in it i drove okay for about 45mins then the needle went in to the red over heating again, any suggestions to what it is? And costings? Private sale, so bought as seen unless, so we can't take it back..
A: I would try to take it back (go with some well built friends), it looks like they sold you a pup and that's not nice. Sorry but there are many questions to clarify. Is it smoke or steam? Is it coming from a pipe or hose or a hole in the radiator? How much oil was needed? does it now need more? You may need to check thermostat as other suggest, then radiator then water pump and head gasket and bank balance
