:Cry::Cry:Hi guys, as title suggests the sodding HG has gone. Towing caravan up the M54. I noticed that there was no hot air coming from blowers whilst on the M6 by junc. 10. I knew there was plenty of water, header tank was checked.
About ten minutes later I saw a plume of white smoke come from the rear and pulled over. Boat loads of white clouds came form under bonnet. When I lifted the bonnet the rad. top hose had gone and was p*ssing coolant all over the engine. I only noticed a small patch of engine oil once it was moved by recovery vehicle. Then looked in header tank and found grey sludge.
What I would like to know is could this problem have been happening for a long time therefore head is probably fokked or is it possible for this to happen over a short journey meaning I might be able to save the head.
Thanks for any ideas.
