My camper T25 2.1 watercooled injection has been cutting out periodically at speed. The cut outs were getting more regular though she still re started within 5 mins. Now, after changing worn out starter, I cant get her to fire up, everything seems to be there, oil pressure is fine, fuel lines clear ...

Finally got to the bottom of this, for the time being anyway. Wasn't HG, corrosion of the long pipe between the Water pump and housing for thermostat had allowed pins to form in pipe and a crack at the join. water was seeping out and losing coolant and alowing airlocks to form in the system which ul...

Think it's just Header tank cap. Have replaced for new, and tested. Coolant holding in header tank much much better, fan kicking in as well. fingers crossed.

I think the leak is the most likely - but...

Everytime i get stuck in traffic my expansion tank starts spewing out coolant and I have to pull over and wait for coolant to cool down and replace the lost coolant in the headtank. I have replaced the pressure cap on the Head tank, tested the water pump and the thermostat is new. i have bled the sy...
