c.mon mun lads help me pleaseeeeeeeeeee!

HI Andy
First of all are you losing any water from the rad top up bottle?check level.
secondly does the water in the footwell smell of anti-freeze?
if yes then its likely the matrix has gone.
If the matrix has gone its a dash out job.which is a sod to do.To change the matrix once you can get at it aint bad and a reasonable price.
You could try Radweld as a temp solution this may work if its a small hole whilst you decide whether to tackle it yourself or take it to a garage.
I also had water in my footwell after a heavy rain so it could just be something like finding where water is getting into the car.
Good luck
Dave

checked water level and it needed bout a cup full of water well i used coolant in fact to top it up if the matrix is leaking just how much fluid comes out oh and does it affect the heaters on my jtd they are warm but not what i think they should be...

Now you have topped the water bottle up i would keep an eye on the level over the next few days.This will give indication if you have a leak or not. Also keep an eye on the footwell for anymore water.

cheers mucca what about the heaters does it affect them as well..

Re the heater--If the Matrix appears to be ok (not leaking) then i would check for air in the system and that the thermastat is ok.
