Overheating problem - help if you can?

[Scooby P1]

Looking to improve the pressure at which the header tanks throws its toys out of the pram but it seems the 21-25psi version of this will take up to 24 days to deliver:

Would it make sense to wait for that or would the 19-21psi version be ok?

Also, how much is an oil cooler + fitting?

Thanks guys

Look on ebay, dispatched within 1 day and £15.95 on there!!!

oil cooler is £100 ish for cooler, £150ish for lines and 2hrs for fitting IMO

Is there a kit or a list of parts required? Is a stat sensible or not?

You can buy kits, just not specifically for a noble. I bought mine from Jetstream and they supplied all the fittings and hoses etc for a good fit. You just need to make brackets to mount the cooler.

I want to buy one of these caps for the upcoming trackday as I too have had water come out the overflow but I'm not sure which one to get? From searching the net it seams that 15lbs is a standard pressure on a road car for a cap to open, so should I get the 18-22 or the 21-25? What size have you boys fitted to yours?

I went for 21-25 and believe that's what most others have as well!

I have the 21-25.

But the damage has already been done. Seems my overheating car has cooked the starter motor relay and now it won't even turn over.

Wonder if this race cap would have prevented that?

No, the starter problem will be clutch dust stopping it engage properly, take out starter motor, strip, clean properly, assemble, install. About an hour all in.

Ok thanks guys, wasn't sure if that was too strong so wanted to make sure. Will get one on order!
