Sadly it blew a heat matrix hose last week the engine was switched off before the temperature climbed. I investigated the issue to find the hose had previously been off and wasnt full put over the matrix inlet allowing the hose to fall off. Got it refitted and filled with water and bled out. Seemed to run and perform ok. The next day i checked the water level out of concern to find it almost empty, looked over the hoses to find no leaks we now suspect head gasket. Not the end of the world as the current engine was leaking oil from every possible place it seemed so i jumped on the phone and spoke to a old friend and got a newer jp4 engine with 38k on it for £150! so we now await delivery of that.
