Thanks. What’s interesting is that I took the car out yesterday, and noticed a damp patch when I went out tonight. When I topped up the coolant bottle with water it created another loads of drips to come out.

No idea if that means anything, but the car was cold as I didn’t attempt to start it. I’ll check the pipes for leaks. Don’t fancy having to drain the system again as getting rid of old coolant is a nightmare
