Looked on the water filler and found the cap to say 108 kpa which equates to 1.08 bar

1.1Bar or 1.3 Bar for uprated caps.

Be aware that the end caps on the Radiators are only crimped on (like the ends of your TMIC) so more than 2.0 Bar may not be "conducive to your wellbeing" ;)

Any mechanics in the south lanarkshire area

I have tried to fix the steaming problem, to be honest im out of ideas. My oil pressure guage seems to be pretty high now. Any ideas

Rossco - where's the coolant leaking from? Top Pipe (EXIT) or Bottom Pipe(ENTRY)?
