Hi guys.....

i noticed this weekend after washing my car that i have a perfect circular wet patch under the carpet on my drivers side foot well.. about the size of a small plate.... also for about the past 4-5months i have been having to top my coolent up every 1000 miles... (asked local garage to test pressure.. and it did not lose any pressure so i wasnt so worried)

could these be linked?? :idea:or totally different ?


any help would be fantastic!!

Heater matrix is behind the dashboard so yes the two could quite easily be related,be warned its an **** of a job probably requring dash out

noticed today the leak seams to be running from the centre of the car not the side.... waiting for the weekend when there is some light so i can have a good look!!
