    Suzuki Jimny - Water reserve tank boiling over?

    RADIATOR CAP as suggested earlier. In one way I hope it isn't this because you'll be kicking yourself if this is the cause. On the other hand I'd be able to say I told you so :cry: Engines run around boiling point, without the pressure the water will boil. Raise the pressure and water will...

    Too hot...

    Obviously you're rather challenged in the brain department. Airconditioning enables complete control of temperature and humidity making for a comfortable environment. If you struggle to understand the big words I'll try and explain on a much lower level so that you may grasp the concept...

    Neutral pin on plug melted - what happened?

    The most likely cause is a bad connection (pin not clean, screw not tight etc). This would cause the connection to be high resistance which would generate heat (as you've found). I'd be tempted to replace both the plug and the socket. Regards - JB

    Dyson DC 07

    How did you clean the filters ? The one on the side of the motor can be washed and the one on top is best cleaned with compressed air. Even though they look clean airflow may not be what it should be and hence the overheating. Regards - JB

    Suzuki Jimny - Water reserve tank boiling over?

    You can rule out sticking thermostat because the temp shows normal when driving around. The most likely cause is loss of pressure and the most likely culprit is the expansion tank cap. Go to halfrauds and get a new one. Regards - JB
