Loosing Coolant - No Obvious Leaks...

[X4MGS]

You replied to me about my dead clocks and then you said that you had sorted your Mrs' clocks out by ensuring a good earth. One of the symptons of clocks on the way out is the temp warning light flashing. In both sets of my clocks when the rev counter stops working the temp warning light flashes. Sometimes it flashes the standard three times and the revs drop and pick up again.

When it next does it, stop the car, pull fuse 21  second from right (iirc) and see if that stops it. Can be done with car running also.

Better then a head gasket?

The light is flashing cos it's low on fluid so that's not really a lot of use.... 

Next it will run out of water and total the engine!! Which is even worse than a Head Gasket...

Get the system pressure tested that will soon show any leaks.

Could very likely be headgasket, get it checked.

Wouldn't the oil be creamy if it was the head gasket?

How can you check? Will there be any Obvious Sign's to check??

Nope, not always. Why do people always say this?

How can you check? Will there be any Obvious Sign's to check??

Yes, some symptoms are.....coolant loss, but not external leaks. Take it for a good drive, then check to see if any coolant hoses are rock hard.

Power loss due to lack of compression in one cylinder thats letting the coolant steam off.

Some cases air locks and over heating, but depends how big the gasket split is.
