try gettin some water system treatment stuff wak that in do as the instructions say, then wen u refill it make sure u bleed it, properly then run it up carefully and see if the fan comes in and make sure ya header tank is all sealed up properly as this makes a big diff u dont want any air leaks

[toon_army2k2]

my thermostat seem's to be working, i tryed bleeding the system and i installed a switch so i can have a manual fan, but even if i leave the fan on all the time it still boil's

If your head gasket has gone it would run like shit to create that much of a boil!

Are you sure there aren't any bubbles on there?

Just completely empty it and try again.

flush rad and engine out.... refill.... fit new cap and make sure it's tight

[rgv_stu]

take the stat out and run it
see if it still boils

mine used to boil all the time untill i replaced the cap on the header tank. coopers do a good one for like 3 quid. or you could get a bling one from baily or something.

Ive tryed a cap of my mate's corsa and still no change, im going to bleed the system again tomorrow then if that not it im going to get a new thermostat.

If your water is boiling it means that you have a leak. Because the coolant system is pressureised which prevents the water from boiling.

Leak = No pressure = Boil
