1989 T25: Fan belt replacement leads to air block in system?

[benleessmith]

Hi guys,

I fitted a new fan belt this morning (Friday). Hoping that nothing else was wrong as the RAC man said, I started her up.....

White smoke coming out of exhaust,
Water level right at the top of the tank behind the number plate and not going down,
Temp gauge goin nuts.

I think there might be an air bubble somewhere not letting the water sort itself out. Im not sure if im on the right lines here.

Help and guidance would be much appreciated.

Ben

white smoke? or was it normal condensation cloud from a cold engine

header tank full?

follow the bleed proceedure in the wiki.. that will sort out the air

the fan belt is tight I hope and turning the pump
what was up with the old belt..did it break?

Possibly condensation!

Will have a look on the wiki, thanks.

Fan belt tight, old one broke! Header tank full and not clearing,

Thanks for help, will let u know how it goes.
