wotcha m8 southend bod here,just soined up.hope you got overheating sorted?? ive had the same trouble and am combating it at the minute.does your 5 overheat or temp rise when you turn it off??my pipe also sucked in.you gotta watch the headgasket as you already know i bet.the only way i can get mine to run at a safe temp is by removing the thermostat middle bit,which gives it a little resistance for the water,so its not major dangerous at warming up,it runs ok then holding temp,except at idle when it does go up quicker.ive got no blockages as far as im aware,or air blocks,am going to try low temp thermostat tmrw and see what happens.its not unusual for the small bore banjoo union bolts on the turbo to get clogged.any ideas or want to chat on fives give us a phone ...ben 07971 399933,good luck and if you have solved please let me know what your problem was,thanks
