So I go to drive home today after my car has been sat (covered in snow and ice) for a couple of days and within 2 minutes the water temp is through the roof.

Cue lots of swearing and shouting as nothing ever seems to be cheap when something goes wrong. So i pull over and check the coolant and low and behold its all gone. So i chuck some in and drive the 1/2 mile to my parents house to take a closer look. It seems to be the hose returning coolant to the expansion tank.

I run the car up to Arnolds (bear in mind its a Saturday afternoon and i've just turned up) and a chap comes out from workshop; takes a look, removes the hose, puts on a new clip and there we have it job done. He didn't charge me for it either!

Considering I don't normally use this garage this is great service! Its a shame you don't come across this more often!

Just thought i'd share my happy experience, as you were!

Edit: spelling
