Well following on from my topping the coolant thread up etc I have since found the problem, went for a half hour run up the A1 the other day to collect a friend.  It did get some right foot too when I got home I noticed what looked like water on the side skirt, on closer inspection it seems I have a water leak, the whole inside of the rim on the drivers side was wet through, water up the drivers side of the car and seems to be dripping towards the rear of the engine. Couldnt actually see where from though... Anyone got any ideas? water pipe going to the turbos or something? I cant see jack. Only pleased Ive found it now and not on a longer journey as it didnt overheat or anything, phew. Time to fix it now while the sun is out.

The expansion tank is located in the offside wheelarch just forward of the wheel. Could be its leaking or the car is blowing its coolant out into the expansion tank. They leak around the filler neck when they overfill.
There are two water pipes too and from each turbo that could leak at the rear of the engine. Good luck with the search.
