water out the exhaust is not unusual in itself, esp if alot of short journeys.

Any other symptoms?

He means the EML ;)


Are you losing coolant? is there any oil in the coolant, or coolant in the oil?, any smell of exhaust gas or petrol in the expansion bottle? Have you checked the HBV? Have a look through the Maintenance Section and aquaint yourself with the relevant parts. :y

There is no such thing as 'exhaust' light, can you describe what it looks like?

It certainly does sound like the H/G has gone then! :(
On the plus side, there is plenty of room to work on the 2.2 & the job of replacing the H/G is pretty straightforward if you have a decent set of tools and are mechanically minded. A couple of members have done their own (including myself) and the general consensus is it should cost around £150 to DIY  :y
