can anyone help with a tech problem. mgf steptronic, new head gasket[the special one!!!] on road test temp rises until heat turned to hot and then cools down to normal, honest. it is driving us daft and as it is the third gasket in 30k miles skint. all new bits and system bled properly. could it be a rogue gasket with a blocked gallery port? blowed if i know help would be appreciated

Blocked radiator would spring to mind as by turning on the heater you are just putting another small one in circuit.
Also how confident are you that it has been bled properly as an airlock could have the same effect

Where are you Derek, it's hard to offer advice when we don't know where you are. Put it on your bio under your avatar.
