Driving to work this mornign and all my warning lights popped on, thought tahts strange, pulled over, couldnt find anything wrong so started on my way again, got about 4 miles down the road and then I start to see the steam!  

Pulled over to witness my car taking a pee on the floor, snapped the fan belt, luckily Id stopped 30 seconds away from a local garage.  1hr later and £26 lighter and Im sorted!

Radiator light has popped on still but its been filled with water, it keeps coming on and off every now and again so I must have a dodgy sensor or there\'s a bubble in the system.  Damn car, made me an hour late for work!

by radioator light, do you mean the add coolant light and buzzer? surely if its still coming on i could be something more serious? Though don\'t take my work for it, wait for someone who knows what theyre talking about to comment :D

Ive not heard a buzzer, but the radiator light (next to handbrake light) just pops up every now and again, I tightened up the belt as required at the weekend which got rid of the light, but has obviously ended up in the knackered belt, so not sure if its just a dodgy sensor or what?

Car runs fine though (touch wood)
