Hi all, thought I'd post some pictures for the issue I'm having with the coolant. I've owned the car for about 5 years now and up until about mid May while traveling back from Lorella Springs the expansion bottle never had air in it and the overflow bottle always settled back to it's original cold position. Now the expansion bottle has a massive air section in it and the over flow fills above the MAX mark and never gets sucked back in. I have manually removed the coolant from the over flow and bled the air out of the expansion bottle to just have it do the same again after a 15 min drive. At idol I can't see any bubbles and no sign of leaks from the expansion bottle to the overflow or anywhere in the system. It doesn't seem to be loosing coolant just pushing it into the overflow and not sucking back again.
When I first bought the car I replaced the expansion bottle and did the glow plug timer and steel tip glow plugs not long after.
The radiator cap is about 2 years old along with the rad and hoses.
I'm unfortunately leaning towards a crack in the head.
