just the spanner noise & coolant made me think HG

check plugs/leads

also could be a fooked temp sensor, about £12 new from vaux. plugs/leads from vaux will cost a lil bit more :|

is your coolant regurlarly running low?

i'd say if it is & engine is running hot all the time, could be early signs of a fudged headgasket
