Quote from: Gaffers on 15 October 2018, 08:50:16Stripped the plenum and intake off of kitty to replace a breather elbow that was leaking and causing the EML to come on randomly. Changed the coils and plugs while I was at it and had the dreaded coolant hose plastics break on me too so there was another 120 quid in parts. Swapped out the stabilisor rods and drop links too as they were shot.Anyone would think an MOT is on the horizon Looks like I has shagged it

Coolant flowing out of the exhaust means only one thing. Still flumoxed as to how I could have done it. Filled the coolant up, burped the pipes, ran it and kept topping it up and then the telltale white plume of vapour and water pee-ing out the back Oh well, I may have to get myself a company car now. I'll start a new thread because I will definitely need advice on that.

Question is how much damage have I done. I suppose I will have to dismantle it all and dry it out first.
The pistons will probably look shiny now Seriously, hope no serious damage done, sounds hopeful
