I do need to top it up, but haven't been driving it so i haven't done it yet!
Any help would be appreciated!

Has it come out of the overflow bit? (not sure what it's called :grin:) mine did the same thing when the fuse for my radiator fan went, might be worth a look? when you leave it running for 10 mins does the temp go above 70 degrees?

I know VR6s are awesome but no need to blow your load :lipsrsealed:

Yeah it looks like it splattered out! :grin:
Temp usually sits at about 90, then when i'm stationary the fan kicks in. I replaced the Rad about 3 months ago so i can't help thinking there are still air locks? :undecided:

Haha seems like it blew it's load shortly after receiving some goodies :wink: :grin:
That's a contender for a sig quote :cool:

Coolant system overpressured, air lock, overheating or head gasket issue.

There was an airlock that i removed the other day, i'll refill the tank up and then run the car for about 15 - 10 mins with out the cap off, see if that helps it out!

black header tank caps are well known for failing seals, might be worth the £5 or so to put a shiny new blue one on

i would bet a pound that the water bottle itself is at fault,ive heard of this happening before,the bottle is in 2 parts,check for a split in the join,on the plus side its a cheap fix;)
