All you need is..
1. An MR2 of the Original variety.
2. Coolant, red is preferred, of the wet variety.
3. An expansion tank of the non-leak variety.
4. A Totally weakened Filler cap, of the metal 0.9 bar variety.
Guess you can tell where this is going.
I thought it was the H/G at first, but all I did was had the car running, with the little cap (expansion and filler) link tube diconnected at the filler end. 2 mins after starting, there was a 2 drip-per-second coming from the filler.
Therefore it was filling the expansion to the top, flooding out, then when it was cooling down, the vacuum effect sucked up the tank water back into the sysem.
TA-Darrrrrrr no coolant left!!!!!
Bugga eh! New cap and all seems good.
Unless the H/G is foooooooked, but no pressure or steam. Performance is still up where it should be :)
