DO NOT PUT MR MUSCLE or other household pipe cleaning fluids into an engine, unless you want it to dissolve... hmm...me thinks that is not a good idea...

Matt are you 100% sure all the water hoses are OK ? One of them could be collapsing (even partially) at very high temps causing a flow restriction. Good luck sorting this out mate.

You may have something there Mike. But surely with all the work thats been done to the car in the last, what? 10 months the hoses must be quite new.

Matt, the club has some sets of silicone hoses for sale. Talk to Porkypaul.

Brand new Intercooler installed; While at John's, it's also going to get a new oil cooler, radiator, engine flush and a new silicone water hose kit. If that doesn't cure it, nothing will

Just incase anyone is still interested; I went down to Midlands Car Servicing on Friday and had a new radiator, silicone hose set and oil cooler installed. (And Aux belt) The coolant hose of death was very soft, and could quite easily collapse under suction. (Despite being brand new from Fiat 6 months ago) I have also noticed that recently my temperature gauge has been bouncing round allover the place, as if there was air in the line. It has now started acting as normal again. Also, when left idling, with the expansion tank cap off, the coolant would boil over and spill out the tank. Now these jobs have been done, the coolant no-longer boils over on idle, which can only be a good thing. At this point i have a suspicion that the coolant hose of death was to blame, it may possibly have been kinked or bent, or collapsing under load. I have also installed another water temp sensor in the coolant hose of death, which gives a very accurate account of whats going on. Only thing left to do now is get on a track day and test it.
