Carry out a cooling system block test

cooling system block correct with no problem with it when engine revs are around 1800 rpm water flows through matrix but not lower puts water out header tank and cap has been replaced have replaced stat again but no change i am confused as i have not got a clue and nissan are no help either i wonder could the new water pump be faulty

Sounds like cyl. head / gasket faulty and pressurising the cooling system when running . This should show if a block test carried out . Normally if faulty you may feel the rad hoses harden till pressure released .Always possible faulty water pump but very unusual .

Not sure of the set up on that year / vehicle but if fitted , may be a faulty heater control valve .
