Mechanic time - recommended in Wellington?

[tssupremacy]

Gents,

Having an issue with my 96 gtb. Heater not working and temp gauge rises when going up steep hills. I suspect this is an airlock somewhere in the cooling system. A month ago I had a radiator hose burst, so I replaced it and then just topped the coolant up. Think this was the cause. Heater also worked before then. I've tried flushing the coolant twice, using different methods of bleeding each time, but no cigar.

Can't be assed spending another weekend on it. Can anyone recommend a Suby mechanic around Porirua area? Someone who can do a flush properly (because I obviously cant..) If anyone from the forums wants to come and try, there's plenty of beers in it for you!

Cheers

Scotty

Are you lifting the front of the car up or just doing it on an incline? I found my gt was way harder to bleed than my Sti is.

If someone had a compression tester, you could test to see if it's head gaskets

Yeap, did it on the driveway (steep as). Also took off the hose from the filler to the radiator top tank to bleed.

OKAY. So heater is now working after a radiator flush - cheers Dacca

BUT. Now I've got other issues with the turbos jumping/missing under boost after driving for about 15 minutes. Ill post a new thread over in the Legacy section.

Getting a little sick of TTs...
