Took the car out yesterday for a good run 70 miles each way. Had to fill with coolant when I arrived at destination and also when home.The radiator seemed full of coolant but not the swill tank or the expansion tank, both these very empty.Think its a loose hose or split but cant see anything obvious from the top of engine.Will have it checked out next week.
