Hi all, new here this is my first post and I'm after help!
I decided to buy a 1996 Micra 1.0 litre last week as I'm putting the motorbike away for the winter and wanted something good on fuel, cheap to insure and RELIABLE!!! :blush::blush::blush:
I've done 100 miles in a few days and noticed it getting very hot all of a sudden.
I checked the oil and it was ok and no residue on the oil filler cap.
So I topped up the water (it took a litre) and expected it to be ok
Sadly it's still overheating and it got quite hot earlier and steam started coming from the bonnet :doh:
I'm trying to diagnose the problem at the moment.
I'm thinking either bust thermostat or head gasket
Anyone know what I should start doing first to work out the problem?
