Might be good idea to make sure the pump is pumping water round the system.I`m not 100% sure but if you run the engine with radiator cap off,you shoul see the water being pumped roun if the pump is working.If its working,might be a good idiea to check the o`ring.

Like the man said,its a quik and cheap job to replace the o`ring,50p and about half an hour...job done.

Good luck :blink:

Possibly the engine is running to weak, causing the motor to run too hot. This wil cause the coolant to discharge via the overflow rather than boil over.

Having had this happen to a 2000 TXT myself, I found the cause was a partially

blocked petrol tap.

Are you really sure it is overheating?

You top it up to the brim when cold, the coolant when hot will expand and will self level out of the overflow even if the fan is on, this is causing the ''Spitting''!!

Does it loose a lot of coolant?

If it does then you do have a problem, if not then don't worry about it is finding its own level.

Don't be spending money on stripping the engine down if there is nowt wrong :blink:
