Topped up the coolant 1.5 ltrs? Checked again after a 150 mile run to Rosyth and back (from Letham, not Spain) and needed to add another ltr???   HBV? Couldn't see any visible leaks.

As LD has said, but basically, if it's coming from the back of the engine, then HBV is first choice, and from the front, most likely the radiator (usually the left hand end ime :y ).

Getting dark here now, plus it's bl**dy cold!

Hopefully will get chance tomorrow before heading back home Tuesday.

Oh yeah, now have #1 injector leaking as well! (Separate post)

My back is broken after a weekend of work, Oil and filter change on the Omega complete break fluid flush and polished the head lights to sort out the horrible yellow pitted surface, then a Oil and filter change on my wife's Zafira and then to top it off, Oil and filter change along with new pads front and rear, new disc's front and rear and a break fluid change on the Fiat Panda 100hp, now treating my self to some nice single malt which is going down a little to easy. Cheers to all you :y

Just gave it a wash, but I finally remembered to clean in and around the jacking point covers. They were filthy  :o

On my 2.2, fixed washer pipe bodge, now back to as it should. Cleaned and hoovered it and got all junk, snack wrappers and other rubbish from Austria trip. Going to give it some fresh oil tomorrow, still very clean after 3k though.
