Hi guys,
This has me puzzled. My daughter has an MGF, 17000 miles on a 52 plate, owned from new and serviced. She had a problem that caused steam to escape, possibly from the radiator cap, with associated high temp indicated. Garage changed rad cap, saying this was cause(?). Fast forward to this weekend, but only a few miles later, car driven for 80 miles, stopped for 30 minutes. Started off again,suddenly more steam escaping. Car stopped, allowed to cool down, small amount of water added, driven for the next 400 miles, no further problem, no high temperature, no loss of coolant, and no sign of oil in the coolant.
Has anyone a clue what could cause this?
