KA Duratec (the new type) 1.3 year 2003, fan has been running a lot lately, the temp light came on the dash... looked under the bonnet and I saw the header tank it has starting to split. let it cool down and had a look. all the pipes are getting hot and the heater is red hot. but it is pressurising too much. used the block test fluid, it stayed blue? did not turn yellow.
as I said all pipes hot? not looking good is it? never taken the head of,this model is there a locking tool needed?
any other diagnostics I should do? what do you think is it, is this model prone to head gaskets or similar.
Thank you people
Dave
