Just noticed that my coolant expansion bottle has lots of small cracks around the neck hidden conveniently by the yellow plastic label. Although it isn't leaking at the moment I've cleaned it & coated it with araldite just now & will replace it soon as Famous Four list them at around the £25 mark. Having done the old search I see that it's a fairly common problem but I hadn't realised it affected the Td4 models too so it might be well worth you all checking yours.

V6 & TD4both show the same. More obvious with the filler cap off. Likewise the little air bubbles that are there when the engine is running, if it's petrol its impending HGF, if it's TD4 it's nothing!
