I trust Mike Stafford to the moon and back. Served his apprenticeship with MG-Rover. Have spoken to Mike this evening and he has assured me that everything will be checked and checked again.

had you had any warning signs prior to failure ?



Paul.
No coolant to be seen in header tank. Breakdown filled it up and lots of oil appeared.
No warning other than the heater suddenly running cold, temp gauge on red, engine over heated sign on info screen and the she cut out. I put my hazards on and coasted downhill till I found somewhere safe to park. The vehicle behind sensed there was something wrong and he put on his blue lights and kept me safe.
