Just driving back from Manchester today and noticed some steam coming from the expansion tank area from under the bonnet, it keeps running the tank dry but the temp gauge says its not overheating, changed the stat but still the same could it be the expansion cap or the temp sender unit.

Cheers

Hammo.

Happy xmas all

What is the temp gauge reading?
Did it read that before you started loosing coolant?

Could just be faulty cap
Could be failing head gasket...
Could also be failing waterpump, but that would lead to overheating
