Appreciate any pointers to this problem I have.

I am loosing coolant from the header tank due to overheating but the guages
show only just above normal. This only happens when stationary. The vehicle is
fine at high speeds. Sometimes fans come on somethimes not temp reading when
this happens is about 95 but rises quickly after as one would expect.

System has been pressure checked, new header tank cap, new radiator fan switch,
water pump & thermostat still no joy.

Any guidance appreciated, thanks

Chris

Leaking head gasket?
It doesn't always show with a pressure gauge.

Check gasket radiator filling cap.
