No leaks so the front was put back on but discovered that I had a cabling dangling when I went underneath to put the undertray back on - whoops
After asking on here - went back out and located where it should go - at the bottom of the radiator on the offside
Put it back together and replaced the water I had filled it up to check for leaks with a 50/50 mix of G12 antifreeze and distilled water.
Front back on with all the bits and bobs and went for a spin.
Damn - temperature shot up so had to pull over.
Lifted the bonnet and all the coolant was still there so I have another issue bu the looks of things
Could be an air lock so will check for that or could be the thermostat which I believe is another front end off - damn (sure there is a moral to this story and I am sure that someone will be along to tell me that
)
