recently i brought a saxo vts, and everthing was running well untill i found out my van was'nt working, the fuse had blown and because of this had caused my car to over heat when i parked up from a long drive, the other day i was parking up in this underground car park and when i parked up the engine was pumping out so much steam from a burst pipe, so i let it cool down for a while and filled it back up with water, when the water got over half way next to the radiator it wud start leaking lots of water from just under the black 16 v sign where the trottle body is, has anyone else ever had this problem and can give me some help where to get the pipe from cause im all new to this, and also when i start my car up, it revs up and down, not much prob a lil bit but never done it before. any help would be greatfull

reving up and down - stepper motor not expensive to fix!!

sounds like you have an air locked heater locked coolant system,as for the burst pipe it sounds like your heater matrix!!!
