You checked the 3 way pipe at the back. There basturds those thing. Or go in side the car and look at the heater matrix to see if it's leaking there

Nope no smoke wat so ever.
ive just tried check for air in the systen again as Kizza said and if i leave it to get to temp with the cap off and heaters on its fine, soon as i turn the heaters off it boil's ouer within seconds.
and after i drove it home from work 2nyt witch is about 12 mile cum to take cap of the bottle and its under pressure not just a little bit either, once presure is releasd the water just dissapear's out of the tank :-s

Has anyone put rad weld in the system. Cos that could bugger everything to. What mine used to do when had that shit stuff in it.
With my redtop now I allways drive with heaters on. Just to keep it that little bit cooler. But you still have a problem somewhere.
Must be some kind of blockage somewhere. The only thing to do really is take all the pipes and rad and bits off give that a good blast though with the hose. Then see if it's anybetter.
