Hi Folks,

Found this gem of a forum whilst searching the Internet in light of an issue I've been having with my TX1. Recently had a conversion from a TX2 to the 2.7 engine from a TX1. Firstly the parts I have replaced since this issue has arisen are:

Water Pump
Radiator
Thermostat
Full system flush.

For the taxi to heat up there must be about 5-10 minutes of solid driving, once you slow down, cold air. Obviously one of my last fixes will be the Matrix, could this be my issue? I will attach a few photos to show the engine bay with the new parts etc and if someone could as much to enlighten me to what the issue is or if they are having something similar I would like to hear your fix!
