G'day everybody,
new member in Western Australia, south of river perth.

have recently acquired an immaculate 1994 323 with 150000 k's from a deceased estate.
Unbeknown it had a hole in lower radiator hose and girlfriend overheated it on way to work!!!! Aggghhh

car still starts but when refilled with water and flushed it was rusty and now the car idled at normal temp but overheats under load after a few minutes.

I would really like to keep this car as as it is a well looked after car and will continue to be if I can keep it running.

Ill be on other areas asking questions, have had some excellent responses already and I am enjoying my experiences here, thank you for your forum and for all of ur responsive members!
