That should be easy to find...

If it is the HBV then it can be made better or worse by setting the climate control on both sides to HI or LO  :y..

Thanks for that great tip on Hi and low heater settings DG. Low leaks like a sieve from Hbv, high barely a drip. Took down the M1 to staples corner, and back to Watford. At least I can get the motor to Sereks on Thursday  :y

Great tip on high and low heater settings, everything under control in Hi. I'm a lot more confident I can make to SOS on Thursday.  Appreciate your advise DG  :y :y

No worries  ;)

Just take a couple of gallons of water just in case and watch the temperature gauge... Any signs of a problem and pull over and check it.

Changed around four front bearings now (different cars!), one failed prematurely from water ingress I think - due to missing cap. Others been changed due to excess play, the most recent one was on the daily at around 236K and appeared to be the original one.
