Hello everyone. I'm looking for some advice. I've got a 09 raging bull and it starts to overheat after a 30 + minute drive. I've had the thermostat done and also put a new radiator cap on. ( which is what the AA thought it was ). A friend thinks it is the water pump. Can anyone confirm this before I have it done pls.

Hmmm , not usual for a water pump .... unfortunately , if you've done Rad cap and thermostat , its looking like Headgasket.....

Unless you've recently had work done and all the water drained, if so , maybe an airlock if you're really lucky..........

from cold start the truck and then take the rad cap off u should be able to see the water pump circulating the water it will rise and fall if u have gases escaping from the rad cap it will be HG

Not always exhaust gases for HG failure chef, may just be using water....

true mate true,

Thanks you both. I'll try that hotchef 👍🏻

If you have an air lock raise the front end start truck up with cap off it helps push the air out also make sure header tank is at the max Mark

The water is going up and down and there are bubbles. Got a qoute from Mitsubishi Brighton for £1700. To replace the HG and the radiator , which they advise to do 😡

up and down is normal bubbles is not id be getting a snif test done just to prove bubbles are exhaust gases
