Driving along the M25 in stop start traffic, when the temp gauge goes right up accompanied by the red light. A few seconds after, white smoke (steam?) starts coming out from under the bonnet of the car. Then i smelt what i can only describe as a smell similar to celery, coming from the heater. Pulled over on hard shoulder. When I got out the car, there was a leak, an orangey fluid (Antifreeze?). Called the RAC, the fella did a cracking job. Turns out the thermostat is bust, engine overheated, had below minimum water/antifreeze. Drove home and got a wiff of the same chemical smell again on for a few seconds. Any ideas? (Blockage of some sort?)
