having problems again after my top rad hose slpit, no warm air coming from blowers, bottom rad hose not getting warm , top 1 is. flushed system out in case of air lock. however now i have noticed that the bottom rad hose is dripping when engine turned of. but not when its on, do i need to change the thermostat? cheers

 

It would be an inexpensive start to resolve your problem yes. From what you have described it points towards your stat failing to open.

 

I had exactly the same problem changed the neader cap and then bled the system again works fine now

 

not that cheap tho, £25 delivered for a genuine one
