Hi
I have a 1983 laser hatch 1.5 ltr auto, I was driving home when i heard a ticking sound so i pulled over to realise that the temperature was in the red. I let it cool down and put water in the radiator but when trying to start the water pumps straight back out the cap. I have checked the oil for water but the oils fine and now it won't start No banging or ticking when i try to kick it over, just wont start...... Please Help Thanks Glenda |

So there's water coming out via the radiator cap? If so sounds like the cap/seal is busted and not sealing it in. Grab another one. Only a few bucks from Repco etc.
Though that doesn't sound like the bigger problem. From your description I don't think I can help, take it to the closest radiator place and let them have a look. Most give free quotes.

if the radiator people cant fix it
the head gasket may have blown or the head warped letting water into the combustion chamber have the plugs removed to see if there is water in the combustion chamber
