Feeling a bit better!! Thanks for the info.
Absolutely gutted at the minute.
I know it's going to cost a bit. But will be worth it.

What problems have you got? If knackered might be cheaper to swap it over to one of the many alternatives

Hard to tell at the minute.
But smoke was pouring out. Stopped to check it out, the engine bay was very hot. The water pipe to engine was damaged. Overheated and a seal at the back was burnt. I have had problems a few weeks ago but thought that was sorted. ( replacement coolant flange)
Sorry for being vague but not really mechanical minded.....
