I had a bit of nightmare today.
Driving home and noticed that the temp gauge was just below red.
I immediately pulled over and stopped. The expansion bottle was nearly full and steaming but no visible water dripping from the rad or hoses.
Popped the rad cap off and there was no visible water. I topped up with about 1litre that I had in the car and drove slowly home.
Nearer home the temp began to climb quickly and a missfire developed.
I got home and the rad was low again and the expansion bottle was fuller than before. The missfire is coming from cyclinders 1.
Thermostat was changed 3/4 months ago. Both rad hoses are hot and there is no mayo in the oil or rad.
Just letting her cool down before I investigate further.
Any ideas folks ??
