The thermostat housing is directly above the

gearbox, so it could be a leak there. It could just be a coolant hose has decided to split or just come loose. If so it'll only cost a few quid.

Or the blead nipple has come loose on the water pump housing...

just got of the phone to citroen at it is the thermostat housing that has gone.



at first they tryed to blame it on me saying it was damaged due to the car being modified!



I told them that Im not hiding the fact that the car is modified, IT MAY HAVE A FULL BODY KIT, BIG ALLOYS AND A SOUND SYSTEM, BUT THE FUCKING ENGINE IS STANDARD FOR GOD SAKES!!!! SO HOW COULD I HAVE DAMAGED A THERMOSTAT HOUSING?????, THE ONLY REASON I KNEW WHERE THIS PART WAS BECAUSE THAT WAS WHERE THE WATER WAS PISSING OUT FROM!!!!!



oh rite they said! ok well, we will cover it under warrenty then!



dam rite u will i said!!! lol



rant over! why do garages always try it on with you!???



cheers andy
