put the pipe back that i had problems with before so i need to fill the cooling system, first i read the wiki, i filled the system bled it, drove it, bled it and checked the levels again, i had the heater blowing on hot.
the temp gauge goes to the correct temp but the radiator and the two plastic pipes stay cold, the rubber pipes in the engine bay get hot and the two small rubber pipes that run next to the two plastic pipes get hot, but the two long plastic ones dont get hot, surely one should be hot and the radiator should be hot,
any advice

could there be a blockage somewhere? I'm no expert, but i once had a problem with mine. the previous owner had used the wrong coolant and gradually over time it had acquired this sort of sandy residue which clogged one the pipes...
sure someone with more knowledge will be along shortly to help out...
