Hi there - I have been to 2 garages after my van had its first overheating attack. I nursed it back from a long trip on a stupidly hot day as no where to break down in central london. Since then replaced water / coolant and its driving locally and temp gauge remaining in usual spot. Prob seems to develop when you push the van to drive longer and then face a period of slower driving in traffic. The fan was coming on and there's fluid in the coolant / radiator reservoir. I am thinking of trying that Steel seal product... any reviews of it?

Plus - have some other issues to deal with (loose suspension, bush on front, slight leak in fuel tank).... and of course MOT soon.

Any views on Steelseal appreciated and where to possibly get a fuel tank and other bits!

Seeing as Woodie is on a sabbatical from here suppose I will say it, fill in your profile location and introduce yourself if you haven’t already done so.

I've used Steelseal once, carefully following the instructions, and it worked. I do wonder what damage/blockage it causes to the cooling system though.
