No damage done except pride.Top coolant hose came off and swamped engine bay which took ages to clean once I got home.75 miles baking the antifreeze onto metal,urg! The only spring type OEM hose clip I had not replaced with a jubillee clip.Was not happy with myself.When steam blew out of bonnet openings as I quickly turned off ign; I glanced at temp; gauge and still at 90 so ok,thank god. All being well see you all in Sept:

Ah, news at last :) Glad to hear all is still well, I expect it was quite worrying seeing all that steam coming out the grilles :eek: the smell must have been choice!
