  • Overheating close call!!!Panic

    Greetings.

    Had my Surf out a run today. Stopped at traffic lights and could tell there was somethin not quite right . Could hear the cooling fan running which i've never heard since i got the Surf in December. As i travelled about a mile the temp' guage started to rise to just below the red!!! Heating was only blowing cold air!!!
    Stoped and checked under bonnet,water everywhere!! Let it cool right down (went done shopping in Asda,10lt finest still water available). Went back and checked water levels,bone dry!! Found a hose had popped off and water was emptying as fast as i could fill it. Put hose back on and filled up again. Surf behaved well on journey back home (40 miles) temp only showing half way.
    Just got home and went about town(5min)in Surf now fans coming back on
    Is this usual for the fan to be coming on since the outside temp is a little warmer than usual and i was runnong about town??
    Got a 4wd day out tmrw and don't want to risk blowin me Surf up!!

    Cheers
