After get the zed I have not had the time to even think about her. So after being sat for a while I started her tonight. Flat battery but started as soon as she was hooked up. Let her sit and run but got up to temperature quicker than she should (10/15mins at idle) Kept an eye on it then the fan sounded like it was working overtime.

 

Let her keep ticking for another 15/20 mins and maintained temperature at just under halfway but leaked coolant somewhere from the back of the engine (can't see to much due to the dark).

Since I got her the heaters never blew out hot air but did the easy check the footwell but bone dry so likely this leak is the cause of that?

 

Any ideas or help much appreciated

Check that the matrix has not been bypassed by looking at the back of the engine, ensuring that the 2 heater pipes are connected to the 2 copper pipes coming from the cockpit through the bulk head.

They are the two sat above and below each other more to the left hand side of the engine? If so they are both connected and not a drip below them

Could be coming from the Turbo mate or under the plenum chamber. Do you know if the water pipes under the plenum have been bypassed?

I have no idea and wouldn't know where to look under the plenum chamber
