check oil.
make sure it isnt mayo.
check all water pipes, check the cap is on. Maybe pour some water into the tank and run the car idle, see if its going anywhere...

I`ve got the same problem, I`ve renewed the jubilee clip on the tubing, put some radweld in, and the reservoir is still empty every day, sometimes the tubing comes off the radiator, even though I`ve tightened the clip as far as it can go. Any advances on head-gasket or heater matrix pipe ??

If water is going there are two possibilities of where it can go...
1. Out of the engine system onto the floor.
(look for a puddle)
2. Out of the coolant system into the engine itself - your oil may turn creamy/yellow so have a look under your oil fillercap, or exhessive steam will come out of your exhaust.
If its going down very quickly expect it to be option 1. Just a case of getting uder the car whilst engine running and tracing the leak back to its source.
