are you trying to prove the coolant system is blocked/pump faulty?

I wouldnt say a test was pointless
as it normaly stops the problem that youre having! (if its on the head side of things)
Have you brought it recently? after the winter weve had if there was no antifreeze in...well there could be a hair line crack in the block,the rad might be blocked,if its been run hot the head might of warped and even though youve changed the head who???? says the top of the block is ok?

theres loads of things it could be,their must be somebody who can have a look for you?,think my mate pays £45 for a skim and crack test.
Its worth every penny as it makes sure the heads good.Please dont take offence just trying to help.

Kind regards

thanks for your help. the story starts with the header bottle .The water has a fast turnover and pressure builds very fast to. If i tighten the cap tight after a minute it runs rough and white steam from the back of the van. Let the pressure off and it runs fine again. I have heard that non turbo heads are bad for this? I live in the north isle's so far away from tester's. thanks again richie
