Hey all,
Need some help with my fathers 1984 MQ Patrol with the petrol P40 motor.
When you run the motor with the radiator cap off bubbles/foam appears in the radiator spout.
Can you please help out and let me know what the problem is.
We thought buggered head or gasket... Would this be right?
Thanks Again
Jason

sounds like a cracked head or bad head gasket

A pretty good guess would be head and/or gasket. Also check the waterpump as to what condition it is
