Thanks for advice.

Thanks once again for suggestions. However I started the engine last night and for a few seconds it sounded rough and the body shook. I've not heard the engine like this before and think this is again sounding like head gasket. Back to the mechanic tonight for him to investigate. Cheers.

Fans seem to be working. I agree about head gasket but the oil looks ok and it only overheats after about 20 Kms. Is that a common symptom of head basket? Mechanic rekons head gasket ok. Thank you for your help.

I had a new radiator fitted about 4 weeks ago (not Subaru) and after about 3 weeks I broke down as all the coolant leaked from a hose to the engine. My mechanic fixed this but then after 20 to 30 kms whens slowing or idling the temerature went up to the top. He then changed the thermostat valve but I still have the same problem. When it overheats the coolant in the expansion tank is bubbling. when it cools the coolant retracts and is not visible in tank therefore I am adding water. If anyone could give any suggestions I would appreciate it. Im in Saudi and there are not many mechanics I trust to doa good job. Thanks in advance Spif
