I'm sorry to tell you that more than likely to be HG failure. The heads tend to lift at high boost losing coolant through the expansion tube near the battery. Try a pressure cap on the header tank first & fix any leaks,but it doesn't sound good to me.

i did just notice (quick drive) there were a few bubbles in the coolant tank infront of the battery is there a temp fix steel seal etc for a few weeks i could use? thanks

No temp fix the engine needs striping by someone who knows what they are doing, assimg it is HG failure. Did you try a cap, they cost about a tenner. Don't use a block seal it will only screw up your Rad & matrix. Best to park it up until it's fixed but if you must use it don't run it hot & keep it off boost.

thanks i had a friend look today and when he revved it up it bubbles up a bit guess that is hg failure? take it the cap theory just went out the window? best be off to start pricing it up thanks mate

Sounds like HG. Make sure you have the bottom end stripped & checked too as often they knock out the big ends after a HG failure. Good luck with it I know how you feel, mines only just gone back together after HG failure.
