    Exactly right. I never ever open car bonnets to check my coolant levels. What's coolant anyway? Does it go in the fuel tank? Please don't read into situations you don't fully understand. At the time of the breakdown there was absolutely no sign of overheating. The header tank was at the correct level & the temp gauge read a very normal 90 degrees. The fault came very much out of the blue.

    Noone ignored anything, I just wanted to get back on the road & do the right thing.

    not so
    gauge would go bendy bendy if it ran out of water the engine fan would come on and also its quite possible engine goes into limp before head gasket says wooooooooooo
    but then you know this as you let it get to this and called the aa ,but that would destroy a good story and a worthless claim

    thinking on the gauge is obviously faulty causing temp to build up thus finding weakest link, the expansion bottle, then water pump,then thermostat

    you arent driving car are you?

    see what im doing?
