finally sorted the problem it was a top left hand hose with a jubilee clip that had failed and the hose just poped off im sure il be able to burn off the exess coolant that has soaked into the fire wall of the car +++
what a faf just so happy that it was only something simple and nothing major


thanks for all the responses and the PDF files and stuff +++

Good news, Guy! Pleased to hear that it was a minor issue :)

Good to hear nothing major. back to work then?+++

Glad to hear you're back on the road!

Jubilee clip - hopefully cheap as chips.
Coolant/inhibitor, lots of it, not so cheap! :(
Make sure it's topped up and fully circulated at the right mixture level.

I'm glad you sorted it out so easily Guy, must be a huge relief.

yes a massive relief, mixture for the coolant is good i have a turkey baster to check if its correct and -35 will do me +++ back to work today after i take the misses shoping
