Almost had a slight engine fire this morning!!!!! Smoke coming from under the bonnet on both sides and from the front

The radiator hose had popped off and the coolant had totally disappeared. Smoke appeared before the light on the dash so I knew nothing of it until the light came on

All sorted now. Pretty scary though!

Blimin hell! Best get it pressure tested jut incase you have properly cooked it

No, its fine now, it just happened this morning. Everything under the bonnet was fine on sunday because i checked everything including coolant before i went to a local meet.

Nightmare though!

She's a tough old bird, she's fine

Oooo that's not too great wouldn't of been good!

If you checked it all before the meet and was fine could be worth checking out where all the coolant went so quick

The hose must have just popped off on the way to work yesterday lol.

Its fine though, i've been all over this morning and she's ok bless her haha

Well that's good to here you all ready for UD next week
