Mx5 overheating and oil bubbling any ideas?
I brought an Mx5 yesterday everything was fine on it i viewed it 3 times before buying it and the person i brought it off i saw driving around all the time so i dont know if he knew about the problem or if it has only just started happening. basically i brought it drove it home about a couple of miles and the temperature gauge went through the roof i lifted the bonnet noticed the water bottle was very very low so i topped it up, i also noticed the oil was bubbling. the fan hadnt kicked in so i pulled out fuse and when i put it back in the fan did kick in for a while. i also noticed a small amount of water under where the raditor is. any ideas what my problem might be?
Change your oil and filter also.
Boiling oil = fried oil.
Does this help any?
