I go to work in the morning, literally two minutes down the road the fan kicks in and 'High engine temperature' is displayed.

This is happening quite frequently and today it did it again and the water was coming out of the expansion tank

Does anyone know if this would be thermostart related?

Also it's running like a bag of nails since putting in Shell V power nitro, It's probarly never ran on it before, BUT it could be a coilpack breakdown on one of the cylinders as a co-incidence.

I welcome peoples comments to help me out! I'm at a loose end with this car now.

Thanks in advance.

 

Don't drive it until you figure out the source of your coolant leak

 

The overheating can easily write off the engine.
