water temp at 118!!! engine needle very high!

would it be a water pump or rad?? if so I need to buy one!

 

Check the thermostat first.

 

Check coolant level. If it's low it may have "gulped" air and now be airlocked.
Check by removing the cap of the metal header tank on top of the engine, WHEN COOL, NOT the one on the n/s wing.

 

I've made sure the coolant is topped up. im gunna have it looked at a garage after work and I will let you guys know what the damage is

 

Ouch. Not good.

 

Feel the bottom rad hose when it's up to temperature, if it's cold it's likely to just be an airlock which you can usually clear by removing the cap and 'burping' it from the bottom hose.

Fingers crossed for you mate.

 

damage could be done already , was the needle in the red and how long for. it could have been hgs anyway but if it isnt i would expect hgs to go in a couple of weeks time.
