Now I'm a proper lotus owner. Currently in the middle of nowhere, waiting for a low loader. Rad looked like it was spraying coolant out and when temps moved past 90 I've stopped at a layby, switched off and started to cry. It seems to be crying with me

Left the pub car park we were at wed, drove back, travelled about a mile then a jet of coolant squirted at the screen as if I'd applied the jet wash but it came from where the rad is located in the front. Wasn't sure what it was, coasted for 1/2 mile, saw the temp hit 95 then pulled in and now sit here crying into a fictitious pint. It appears that the rad has gone or the hoses to it. Looks like I'm under a car to tomorrow

Top up is all done at the rear, this is a frontal feck up. The rads are weak appr and it looks like I need to get an alloy one and get the feckr swapped out. Oh well, my exige journey begins :-P
