Hello everyone, and urgent help needed please :-)

Post by cherryt »

Hello everybody

I'm fairly new to owning a Largo, previously had a lucida!

I was wondering if anyone could help me please. My largo has been overheating, I had a mobile mechanic who came out and flushed the rad, but I think he only did half a job as I still have problems, theres still a lot of muck in the hoses etc, and the heater is still blowing cold.

Does anybody know of a good reliable mechanic in the Wolverhampton/West Midlands who I could call to come out and fix it, I would rather do this than drive it too far!

thank you very much
Jackie

The average mobile mechanic won't stand a chance.
Is it drivable as it certainly needs investigation.

Have put 2 new rad caps on. Got bus upto temp then noticed water dripping from off the oil sump and I presume hitting the fan and spraying it up over passenger side. Then I noticed that the front rad cap looked dome shaped with droplets of water so I shut down engine and that's as far as I dare go lol.
