Well, 5 weeks ago my other halfs step dad thought a V reg Rover was a good idea for her 1st car
today on the motorway, sitting at 70 there was an odd whirring sound from the engine and the temp gauge raised to the top with a loss of power (not total loss)..
i pulled onto the hard shoulder and cut the engine, opened the bonnet and there was steam + the coolant was boiling in the overflow tank (causing the preasure release to let some out, hence the steam)
ive checked the oil cap and no mayo to be found, ive checked the oil level and thats fine..
the coolant level is almost empty (at the bottom of the reservoir)
the AA guy (who gave us a tow the last 30miles and put it through as a personal choice as i have basic cover and would have had to pay £180) said it could be the Cylinder head gasket as it doesnt start and he said it sounds as if there is no compression or pressure (one or the other, was annoyed with the car so cant remember)
absolutely any help/ ideas etc. would be greatly appreciated..
also seen two Zeds whilst waiting on the AA guy,
1 Blue and 1 sunset,
M6 Northbound at jct 23A @ between 1500 and 1540
thanks,
Will
