Hi jf11
Thanks for replying mate, please don't say sorry I know you are helping me in a big way.
didn't have air con on, when I park up coolant drips from the under tray on front left.
never had a car with a expansion tank before so not sure how it works???
I have done 60 miles and its at MIN.
I checked oil first to rule out headgasket etc..
my mate from work is dropping off a compression tester so I am going to stick that on and see if I see any leaks, I am hoping its nothing serious but I have got 3 months warranty on the car so I'm glad in a way.
thanks again
