head gasket went on my accord. fixed it all went well until yesterday.

coolant level is not dropping but its blowing steam from the expansion bottle. (opened or closed)

has my gasket gone again or could it be something simple like a stuck thermostat?

did you have the head skimmed before you put it back on :dunno::dunno:

or pressure tested?

another stupid problem i have is my rally car failed M.O.T for not having ABS brakes fitted to it.... can any one help

 

[jp ruth]

do your model car come with ABS Brakes

 

[bobjoe2004]

Head was skimmed and pressure tested or so i was led to believe.

Last time it went i had to keep topping up the coolant until i got it fixed.I have kept an eye on it and its not losing any.

Today when i went to work there was no heat coming from the heaters.

:dunno::dunno::dunno:

[end over end]

prob just needs the heater matrix cleared out it could be blocked, or a stuck valve in the heater controls
then bleed the system
