Hi guys, great forum you have going, been delving deep into the posts, and i think i am on the right track with my problem, bought a 92 gtl, after driving it for 30mins it almost instantly overheats,changed the thermostat,had the cap pressure tested,put in red coolant, bled it for almost an hour, thought all would be well, and guess what?? it did it again, after 30mins but didnt heat up as quickly,probably took about 10 minutes more to go from1 bar above normal to all the way, popped the bonnet and the steam and coolant is still coming out from only the overflow pipe, no leaks anywhere else, i think it may be the radiator is blocked up, im in perth, so any handy hints would be greatly appreciated guys.

thanks guys,
the car goes into the shop tomorrow for the rad to be cleaned out, and the new thermostat i bought replaced with an original toyota one, as the guy said i will have nothing but hassles without a genuine toyota thermostat?

job done, yep the rad had s**t itself, dealer fitted a new one along with a genuine toyota thermostat and she runs like a stallion now!! just need to get the blinky dash fixed next! thanks for all advice given
