    Hi All, Can I stick my oar in and ask an almost related question? Although being 71 years old, me, not the car, I still consider myself a novice mechanic. The car a 1953 Slough L.15, does not get asked to do much, so when ,with a cold engine, I took the radiator cap off, I was surprised to see the,( green) liquid churning around, is this normal? Does it mean thermostat stuck? Could there be a blockage in the radiator/block? . I am a natural worrier and this is not helping with the grey hairs……

    For the record “ Celeste” is still cosmetically challenged, but starts and runs well, if a little hot.

    Kind Regards
