Stay with it - compulsive reading for an old swear jar owner like me....

Every time I have bled the cooling system (1 x water pump & T'stat, 1 x coolant tank 1 x coolant change) the temp gauge has also gone higher than normal on the initial drive, only to settle back after cooling overnight and refilling. The M96 engine seems to be very susceptible to air locks, broken pump impeller blades and missing thermostats (?).
Looking forward to episode 64 where the mechanical hero finally drives the car more than 25 miles, quits swearing and drinking beer and gives the procedes to the local Porsche dealership....
