I hope the head gasket survived and would want to know why there was no "water" in it.
It dont evaporate from a closed system

sorry took so long to get back ant got a clue but its still going fine

Hope you put some proper antifreeze in there before this cold snap hit.

When the weather improves get the system flushed and chemical cleaned. It may well find a leak (probably in a radiator), but better to replace the rad than have a lump of gunk fall out of a hole and lose all your nice new coolant.

Re: problems again frigging fiat

Mounts (rubbers) knackered
Differential/gearbox about to die

Suggestions only. You might start by checking the gearbox for oil and getting a new mount from a scrappy.

Hope you replaced the thermostat............
