1999 Other Rover Models coolant tank
Engine Cooling problem
1999 Other Rover Models Front Wheel Drive Manual 45000 miles
whilst driving i noticed steam escaping from the coolant tank cap, the level was low so i topped up with a water/anti-freeze mix. i then had a drive around the block(10 mins ) when i heard a sound similair to a kettle boiling. when i opened the bonnet brown water and steam was escaping from the cap again. any suggestions as to what the problem may be, is this cheap to repair.
