Overheating (in the snow)

[uzbek]

Just drove my Elise (6 months old) to work on the warmest day we've had in weeks to discover it overheated! No warmth in the rad at all. Bit of a pain when it is also sleeting/snowing outside.

had to ring AA, grrrrrrrr

Superfast AA man (with big torch) has identified that the water tank is empty an we assume something has frozen/split and or popped off in the extreme temperatures here-it was parked outside in -15 degrees for a night.

Oh, well. Being recovered to my dealership.

A cracked thermostat housing or failed gasket at the housing. Perhaps not ice related?

At least it's easy to accessand fairly cheap to replace and not terminal.

double check your cracked whatsit isnt a by product/symptom of another original problem somewhere else.
