Looks like this could be contagious
Driving home this morning was greated with lots of steam and coolant level warning
Pulled over and steam pouring from under plenum and water dripping down back n/side of engine.Mangaed to top up and got car home.Did logical thing first and replaced hbv with new spare had in stock for some time,but on replacing and starting engine again water still leaking so looks like will require day off tomorrow and pull it to pieces and pressure up the system.
Hope it is same as yours dbug as have a set of coolant washers ready for my exhaust manifold change so may bite the bullet and do the lot in 1 hit
...well assuming it is the coolant bridge or some other pipework around the back.
Please let it not be core plug or worse as have been almost clinical with coolant condition over the years of my ownership and would like to see another year or so from the car.
