About 10 minutes after starting the engine, it appears that it is geting very hot and the water starts to boil. What could cause this to occur and how do I fix this please?

Hi there,

You could have a air pocket trapped in the block, Remove the highest hose a slowly fill the radiator untill the water flows from the hose. When running open heater tap so air can bleed out Check or re new thermostat if you are unsure if it is serviceable, you can dip into boiling water on the stove to See if it opens fully.
