i am a lady who owns a vauxhall tigra, m reg. it just started overheating upto red, engine sounds fine and moves fine untill it starts overheating and smoke, comes out the bonet,i have tried k seal and radweld and now it seems to be overflowing,meaning instead of leaking radiotor water comes out through the cap and i can hear bubbles too. wat could be the problem .help
if it takes awhile say 10 mins could be thermostat. if it happen quickly 3-5 mins lots of pressure in the water system head gasket blown? big job most expensive

it could be 1 of 2 things
1 water pump has gone
2 head gasket has gone
to check to see if the head gasket has gone remove the oil filler cap and look for white creamy deposits if they are present then its the head gasket if no deposits found then have your water pump checked over hope this helps phill.
