	I just love how easy they are to work on. Changed the head gasket on my old one and there was just so much room to work in.

	i had similar problem with the 16v sri, lost al colant and loads of steam, was the colant pipe thats conects parts on the rear of the engine. theres a pipe that clamps on just in the back/side of the engine between the cam cover and the alternator worth a try could be this

	1.2 8v is where the ragging is at

	Must just be a burst or loose hose connection,either that a big hole in the rad but they should all b easy to spot. Poor water in follow the river of water
tom130691	posted on 1st Nov 08 at 14:31
	exactly what i was thinking
Jamie_Hastings1	posted on 1st Nov 08 at 14:16
	Leak,wouldnt leak through the gasket unless it was running.
tom130691	posted on 1st Nov 08 at 12:56
	the aa guy filled up coolant before draging him to service station (4 miles) and the water was all gone agen shurley a leak [Edited on 01-11-2008 by saxo_tom]

tom130691	posted on 1st Nov 08 at 12:39
	when i spoke last the aa guy was towing him to a service station to investigate further
