All very strange, I've recharged the battery and done a couple of short journeys since the last post and it had dropped noticeably when checked at the weekend. No signs anywhere of any leaks or drips.

So I topped it up and went to buy some petrol today pre-meet, then did a precautionary country drive of about 40 miles or so, most at 60-70mph or so.
Temperature gauge was locked on 90 throughout, and on checking back home the level seems unchanged.

I'll have a big container of water with me and when we arrive at MJs on Thursday afternoon for "Triage" it will be the first thing I'll ask her to look at.
