I wish is was some of those things...... £285 and its sorted. Water pumped was f00ked, by the time i got it to the garage it was pissing out. New cambelt and water pump done, car went in and had it back 3 hours later.
Luckily i knew the blokes so they 'Squeezed' it in lol.
But still, not what i wanted before christmas :(

was the leak patch round the front or the back of the block?

must be on about the fan switch.

Heh no leaking from anywhere else just a big spray that has soaked one area if that makes sense in a none dodgey way. i know the hoses corrode after a few years but i think where it is situated (very low down on the back of the block) i doubt its hoses. Guess im just gunna have to take it into a garage tomoz and hope for the best.....
Where abouts on the x16xe is the coolant temp sensor situated?
Thanks for your help will94 :)

i'd check your hoses buddy, they will leak worst when they are under the highest pressure/temperature

check for any stains around or underneeth the hoses where coolant may have been seeping for a while. failing that, let it run hot enuf till the fan cuts in with the bonnet up and watch for any drips or anything

i reckon its one of your coolant hoses

After a little race with a mate we stopped for food at sainsurys and i noticed a bit of steam rising from the front drivers light area. After further inspection theres coolant sprayed over the right lower arm/block/sump and there seems to be a wire to a sensor which im guessing is the coolant temp sensor :boggle:
Could it be the seal on this leaking or something else around that area?
Any help or suggestions would be usefull.
Thanks :(
