FAN BELT / THERMOSTAT

[TRIDENTLEE]

HI, YESTERDAY ON MY WAY TO WORK THE FAN BELT SNAPPED IN APROX 2 MINS OF DRIVING SHE WAS BOILING OVER, I PURCHASED A NEW BELT AND FITTED IN MY LUNCH HOUR, LEFT IT RUNNING FOR QUITE A WHILE TO GET UP TO TEMP, DROVE HOME ONLY 2 MILES TEMP GUAGE STAYED AT ABOUT 1/4 WAY, ALL SEAMED FINE, PARKED UP, GOT OUT , LOCKED UP THEN SPOKE TO ONE OF MY NEIGHBOURS, WHILST TALKING TO HIM I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS SOME STEAM COMING FROM UNDER THE BONNET, ON INSPECTION THE RADIATOR WAS COLD AT THE BOTTOM AND SO WAS THE EXPANSION TANK, DOES THIS MEAN THAT I ALSO NEED TO REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT AS WELL ? WOULD I HAVE DAMAGED THAT ? ITS A 2 LITRE PETROL PINTO ENGINE PULLING A AUTOSLEEPER CAMPER BODY, ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRIECIATED, THANKS IN ADVANCE, LEE

Did you replace the antifreeze and bleed the cooling system? where is the steam coming from?
