    reet..
    Just been to the garage: left the engine running while he had a look and couldn't see anything leaking.. no steam or anything.
    Took the cap off the water and no steam or anything so he said the pressure is fine, adding all that and the lack of other signs about a head gasket he was pretty sure it wasnt that.
    Then he sat in with his foot on the accelerator for a few minutes. Steam started coming up from the radiator so he's narrowed it down to that.

    Going in on Monday to have it replaced at around £450 cheaper than a head gasket..

    Glad to hear its not the head gasket,:T saves a lot of money time and hassle.
    If i could i would, but i cannot so i wont, but maybe one day i will.

    telling me mate.. although as he couldn't see anything and the indications led to the radiator i'm hoping it is just that. With the radiator steaming he was pretty sure and i do have faith in them, never let me down yet even if it isn't a main dealer.
