Thanks to all who replied to my post re the water pump/ coling problems I had last week You were RIGHT Vapour lock. 100%!!!!! Yee haw !!! My worse case theory of the waterpumphousing disintegrating and clogging the block are but a memory. Now I know the entire system is working, it's time to figure out which hoses to replace, how to deal with the corroded metal pipe end I discovered, and refill with real coolant. Off to the archives with me I suppose!
Thanks again all, and compliments to the entire list for being such a great resource !
