Hi everyone,
Hope this is right area for a newbie, I've just bought a 1988 Power valve ( had an LC many years ago! ) so getting back to my teens.....
and i have a question, the temp gauge/stat, when should the stat cut in as it seems to wait until it's very hot, near the max, also the over flow bottle started to blow out water and rose to the top of the neck and at the moment 15 mins later is this full, this doesn't look right to me, should I flush the system or do you think the stat is buggered.
thanks
Phil

Welcome to the forum Phil - a head gasket is easy on an LC its not like a diesel! There are plenty on here that can go through it with you if you want to tackle it yourself.
