Due to overheating problem, I installed a new water pump and a few hoses already.The problem will arise after a few days, thenheater will start blowing cold air. The overflow is full of antifreeze. Draining this out, and putting back into the radiator,will result to a smooth run for only a fewdays.Any ideas on this one? Where is a good place to shop for a radiator and a radiator support as I probably need replacements.

A faulty or incorrect radiator cap might be the culprit. Check if there's a leak
in the cooling system which causes air back into the cooling system as the
engine cools off. To pull the coolant out of the overflow reservoir the cooling
system must be air-tight.When I looked online for hubcaps on my LS, I came across innerauto.com, they
gave me a good discount.
