It's due an MOT in May, so think we'll get it through that then try and sell it. Its a shame cos its a nice car, and tbh its only broken down twice since we got it. Problem was it cost £1250 to get it running again the last time, and now this

Try a new radiator cap first of all, it's unlikely the HG would have gone after 8 miles.

I drove my Corsa for about 100 miles without water (as it just came out again) and it was still fine, so a hardy A-series will be fine 
Thats good news, but have you any clue as to whats gone wrong with it then?

There not expensive to buy tbh.
Shop around, Henry Brothers in Glasgow are doing them for 6500/7000 for cracking ones just now because the new Mini is out.
Oh, and Thankyou
