pack has arrived this morning. cheers gary :thumbup1:

Well I'm not in any particular rush any more I guess, at least I still have my daily and I cant make Zedworld on Tuesday now anyway. I'll see what the garage say today...

At least I've got the owners reassurance that he wont order any parts or do any repairs until he knows exactly what it is and I've given him the ok to sort it! Appreciate the offer Dave - but either way, will see what they say tomorrow before I do anything else. Cheers

Transport of about 120 miles to Zedworld probably sounds easier than it is in reality :/ How much would it normally cost for some sort of flatbed or something with a trailer to get it that far? Unless obviously the Garage comes back and says exactly what it is and its not going to be expensive... we'll see, fingers crossed

cheers mate will do!

thats what a couple of people have said its likely to be and thats what I said to him, although he's not got back to me yet with exactly what it is

Quick update, just rung the garage having dropped car off at half 8 this morning. Their response was to basically complain at me for 5 minutes for owning a car that was too complicated and difficult to work on and there wasnt much space in the engine bay... He then mentioned the word "gasket" and I felt my bank account instantly start crying! They dont actually know what the problem is yet - although they have replicated the fault - so going to let me know once they figure out exactly what it is. I did mention about it possibly being the Turbo coolant feed pipe but he's not sure yet Cancelled my Zedworld trip next week though, for now at least until she's not so poorly!

haha, sorry, had to be said :p. Kinda makes me feel a bit pathetic though hahaha

cheers mate. At least its only 5 minutes down the road... lol. Hoping its all ok so I can still make my Zedworld trip on Tuesday but may have to postpone :(

You've been doing your job for 14 more years than I've even been alive!!! :bow:

ahh ok. cheers. car is going in tomorrow so will see what the deal is...

did that cause the engine to get hot though and it to leak water on the floor?

Just been out to test this and whereas it will run cold if the aircon is lower than about 21 degrees, any hotter than that and the temperature doesnt change. :helpsmilie: Going into the garage tomorrow morning to get it looked at - might need to ring Jeff and postpone my visit as dont want to risk driving it that far until I'm happy this is sorted!

I've worked in IT in my current company for about 18 months. Prior to that, worked in the same company dealing with complaints/correspondence etc for about 2 years.

local garage is going to have a look at it tomorrow for me and should be able to get it done, fingers crossed!

nice one, appreciate that. I've got 4 garages to ring in the morning within about 15 minutes of my house so I'll give them a try and see...

ok cheers, I'll give em a ring in the morning and let you know. If not, what day/time are you talking and how much would you want for sorting?

Yeah valid point mate... When were you thinking if you're able to have a look at it? Or would it just be best if I take it to the "normal garage" thats about 5 minutes from my house? Cheers

problem is I don't have any real mechanical knowledge or training or anything like that so I dont really want to get stuck right in and attempt to do it myself... unless I just see if a local garage to me is able to have a look at it short notice. Guessing its something that a "normal garage" might be able to do without too much issue? Thing is, until today, the car didnt overheat or anything whilst driving, it just leaked and caused a little bit of steam after the engine was off?

Evening chaps, Some of you may have seen a thread on here posted by the previous owner - after the engine turns off, a small leak was happening towards the rear of the engine. Now, the leak is getting worse. Driving home from Squires this evening (pics to follow seperately) the car seemed to be getting pretty hot and a hissing noise was coming from the passenger side of the engine. After getting home, there was more steam than normal as well. I'm taking it to Zedworld next Tuesday but I'm a bit worried that the car isnt going to make it! Has anyone got any ideas? Thanks Alex
