^^ Very nice collection ^^

I spent this morning nursing the car to my local mechanic. Its loosing coolant fast. Pools of the stuff all over the drive and coolant warning light coming on after a few miles following top up.

I hope that it is nothing serious, but I have noticed lots of condensation from the exhaust too.
