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 | |

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 | |

Did the AA guy do a compression test? I'd think that's what he'd base it upon anyway. | |
