Our 1984 Renault 4 gtl ( AKA Brian) has wind.
He will sit ticking over and his temperature gauge doesn't come on ,when he reaches temperature his electric fan cuts in,heater works ok.
Then you take him on the open road ,5 miles approx. his temperature light comes on ,his heater doesn't blow warm air and his expansion bottle starts gurgling.Also his radiator cap was blowing off steam a little.There is no water getting into oil.
I've replaced thermostat and electric fan switch on the radiator to eliminate those faults,but I fear this may be his cylinder head gasket,any advice I would be very grateful.
97000 miles on clock,we have owned him 6 years.He's a super little car and much loved,he appeared in
'My Cool Classic' book several years ago.
Thanks in advance for any ideas anyone has.
