I think it's something to do with e camshaft. Oil temp alarm came on at 120 oc and engine temp was at 120 oc, when I stopped and opened the bonnet there is oil all over the left hand side

We're you driving at the time or just idling? Did Chris bleed the coolant system properly?

Yeah I think it is that. Both oil and engine temp hit 120 before I pulled over.

Feel so bad for you mate . Does sound like the coolant needs a rebleed did you cut a bottle in half and fill it up that way.

Sounds to me like the coolant wasn't bled properly. Rise in coolant temp will obviously rise the block temp and maybe the oil temp from that. Assuming you haven boiled anything, it should be ok

120 is bad but hopefully it's not caused any head damage. With any luck it should be okay!

It weren't it the red. I pulled over and shut it down just before it got into the red so I should be ok!?
Right findings time -
Just been over to the car and had a look and I've found
1. No coolant so I've check for leaks and found the heater matrix pipe was fully in so that's where I've lost all my coolant.
2. The oil level is just below max so I'm guessing I put a little too much oil in.
3. Camshaft is all ok.
4. The rocker cover seal is split on the left hand side (cambelt side)
5. My battery is fully flat.

AA may have some decent automotive sealant to sort the rocker gasket...
he will likely fill up the coolant too and bleed it...
charge up and away!

fair enough, i feel the same after working into the night. felt like scrapping mine numerous times when you put everything back on to find the turbo fouls something so have to strip everything off again just to move it a couple of cm
