    i have a p reg 306 and my heaters are blowing cold, i have checked the water
    and it seems fine except when running the engine with the filler cap off it
    is spraying water up, what could be the cause of this problem as i've run out
    of ideas!!!

    Have you looked at your heater matrix?? or it could be a very large air
    lock.flush it out with ahose pipe joined to one of the top or bottom
    hose on the rad start the engine and just let the water push the air out
    also turn heater on and wait to see if that dos the trick.
    good luck from chris Addlestone surrey.

  4. if by bled you mean removed the plug at the bottom and poured water through
    then yes, but now it won't even start it seems to be turning over too easily
    as if there is no compression, any ideas??

    Could be a blocked rad. so remove the rad and give it a good clean
    out.you say no compression.remove a spark plug and use a compression
    tester. in each plug hole.to see what reading you get from each plug
    hole,good luck from chris in Addlestone Surrey
