hi all,
      does anyone know if there's a special way to bleed the heating system
on the above vehicle,
 the header tanks full but the heaters are cold, or am I clutching at
straws because I know it's the head gasket ?
engines only done 102k, it starts first time but it does boil over after a
few miles, the reason I ask about the heaters is, I had a diesel rover with
the same fault and it turned out you had to bleed the heating system in the
correct way or it boiled up.
are head gaskets a common fault with this fiat engine and what are like to
do ? or is there anything else that is " known " problem ?
any help appreciated
thanks in advance

or does anyone want to buy a 1997 p-reg fiat brava sx  with a full years
mot, some service history, metalic paint
going CHEAP.

I don't like the "boiling over in a few miles"

I think you need to go back to 1st principles with the cooling system.
Sounds to me like you could have a stuck thermostat, blocked radiator, or
other cooling system problem.
