capuccino coolant? thats what my navara with the blown head gasket does....its air getting into the coolant from the cylinder. If you leave the radiator cap off when running, once the thermostat opens you will probably see bubbles moving through the coolant as well.

It won't necessarily run hot until you have lost enough of the coolant.

Leakdown test could confirm.

Or just chuck a bottle of chemiweld in the radiator....

cheers guys. well i just took it for a drive, was fine, but wen i got home i checked everything and one of the hoses has blown at the back of the head. it is a spraying sort of leak so must be a small hole in the hose. i blew the top radiator hose about a month ago and changed it without changing the rest of them could this have something to do with it? if its a blown head gasket, what must be done to rectify, there is no water in the oil or oil in the coolant by the way. my car is goin in to the workshop for turbo fitting,pfc ect ect in 3 weeks should i get it sorted then??

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
