  • 2.7 1998 prado cooling problems.... HELP!

    hi guys!
    I have a 1998 2.7l Prado which is having some problems.....
    driving to work a few days ago I noticed the temp gauge climb quite quickly, I pulled over and let her rest for half hour or so and tried again and the same thing happened.
    within 5 minutes of driving from a cold start its overheating and boiling the reserve bottle coolant
    after reading online a bit I decided to replace the thermostat first (cheapest option) aaaannnnndddd no luck! damn it!
    any idea what it could be? im guessing possibly the water pump? ive checked all pipes for leaks and nothing seems to be out of place.
    im not overly mechanical minded (just the basics) is it hard to do?
    any input would be greatly appreciated!
    thanks!

    i had those issues a while ago, turned out to the fan solenoid needed replacing, it wasnt turning on and off correctly.

        Ours was a blocked radiator core too - when it's hot feel the centre of the radiator, if it's cold then there's little to no water getting through.

            There is a guy on ebay selling new radiators for $145 delivered. Supposedly runs 30% cooler than factory.
