do you know of any good degreasers as it could still have quite a lot of oil in the system maybe?

NON bio washing up liquid / powder or dishwashing tablets.

MUST be NON bio Wink

Couple of tablets added to the expansion bottle when cold & take the car for a drive to get it nice & hot, smells lovely & also cleans all the crap out the cooling system at them same time better then stuff you can buy on the shelf.

awesome! will it need flushing afterwards?

Rise it out with water from the hose before putting all the pipes back on.

If it's had a new radiator and thermostat, other than replacing the temp sensor I would also think it must be the water pump. Unless the head gasket was fitted incorrectly.

ok so ive just taken my front bumper to look at the wiring on the fan and found that 1 prong on both of the relays has corroded and snapped, wondering if you can replace these or do i need a whole fan unit? also could this be why my fan kicks in at 103degrees and not 93 like a lot of people on here are saying?
