| PEACHY Member Since: 07 Nov 2010 Location: Birmingham Posts: 2796    | Unfortunately there may be a few reasons  - I used to run the car then stop somewhere - pull of about an hour later & get exactly what you have. It got worse during the summer - the same spot on the way home from work - I used to boot it up a hill - it turned out to be a thermostat in the coolant hose - £15 & sorted. I can't believe it's just happened  | ||
