I responded to your earlier thread pointing out that your thermostat and heater matrix cannot be responsible for the symptoms you describe. My advice was that the cooling system should be bled according to MG Rover's procedure and that is what your garage should be doing. It ought not to take longer than an hour. Note that if your cooling system has OAT antifreeze (pink in colour) then you should ensure that the garage uses the same. It's best to buy some yourself and supply it to them because they're very unlikely to keep it in stock. Comma G30 is widely available at motor factors. I also asked you in your earlier thread whether sealing additives such as K-Seal have ever been put into your cooling system but you didn't answer. If they have, then there's a struggle ahead of you, and probably an expensive one too.  Simon
