i dont think the radiator is clogged because i had the coolant replace a few days ago and it ran throu just fine. I will go on Monday and get a new termostat fitted in. I will let you know about the results.

I also had a hard time uploading a picture to the forum. I had to open a www.photobucket.com account (it's free), it will resize your pictures so that you can upload them to the forum.
If you can resize them on your computer then when you "reply to message" there is a "embed picture in post" at the bottom of the space where you type.
You can not do this in the "fast reply".
If you are uploading from another site, like photobucket, then you click on the mountain looking thing directly above where you type and then copy and past the URL and it will upload in your post. Hope this helps.

thanks spike555, this is a photo of my disco a week ago. my heater radiator bursted as i was on the snowed moutains with my familt and another two friends.. I managed to replace it by my self after 4 days of hard work. now it is ok, but I have to fix my engine radiator fans before something like this happens again.

WOW!! What a picture, I think that would have taken me more than 4 days.
Overheating wont make your heater burst, they go bad. The solder joints wear out overtime and they start to leak. Although over pressurization could cause it to burst I suppose.
Can you post a picture of the engine? We would like to know what a MPI engine looks like. I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

i will do it in a few minutes.. but the way you are asking me already makes me feel that I am going to see a monster from your side as I already told you that mine is half your capacity (cc).

I also think that it had to do with its age.. because the minute it happened it was noy overheated and i was in the snowed mountains with -5 c outside temp.
