Took my car into see my old foreman he said hed do a prelimanry mot check shes passed all barring cat test a tad difficult as its in my garage not on my car, as the car sat there idling whilst discussing the legality of decat pipes all of a sudden we got wet, the car had over heated shooting out effin hot water all over the place from the expansion tank.

So i guess more parts to add to service list low temp fan switch and thermostat, tank cap and possibly a new radiator.

Oh well shit happens as they say at Armitage Shanks.

Filled her back up with hot water took her for a burn temp remained normal luckily for me.

Unlucky mate, good job the gasket didn't blow, could've been even more expense!!

check for white stuff round the oil filler cap... if none you have got away with it but get a low temp fan switch and thermostat!
