That seems to be sensible, and something that even me as a complete engine dummy should be able to get to grips with. I'll try it in the morning and let you know how I get on, and thanks for the advice,

Sorry, I assumed there was an overflow, not used to new fangled engines! Then I'm not sure where the water is coming from just that when it boiled up there was steam coming from the expansion tank side and there was water all over the road. Should I let it overheat to that point again to pinpoint exactly where its coming from?

Help - 2.5 V6 Automatic 1998 (R reg)
Engine has started seriously overheating and loses water when it hits max. The radiator doesn't get even warm (most of the time) and before the problem started, the fan would continue running for a while after only a short trip and when the temp gauge showed normal. I'm assuming that its not a head problem as there are none of the usual signs like the milky deposit on the dipstick or the oil filler cap.
The big hose at the top of the rad (right hand side) is hot but doesn't seem to have any water in it.
Any suggestion would be very welcome
