Hi I just brought myself a mazda e2000 95 model and yes I know its not a ford but there was no fords going as cheap as mazdas. Anyhow it's getting into the red zone after about ten minutes of driving, now the person who I brought it off said its got a cracked head or blown gasket. Its not losing any water and there is no water in oil and no oil in water and no steam cloud out the exaust. I have taken out the themostat and still no good and i have reversed flused and still no good, anybody got clues where I could look next. Can it still be a cracked head, my next guess will be water pump. Any help would be great. Regards, Leigh. Edited by user Tuesday, 2 September 2008 5:20:01 AM(UTC)

When does it get hot? at idle? while cruising? If it's getting hot while cruising you may have a blocked radiator, flushing it at home won't fix it, you will need to send it out and get it cleaned properly. If your water pump is working properly while hav
