As soon as the temp started to raise on the dual carriageway, I backed off and it returned to normal with no obvious coolant loss on the journey.
I didn't fancy another steaming engine half an hour from home, so didn't wait to find out if it was going to dump a load of coolant either.

I only wish I'd driven the car a decent amount before I had the cambelt done; would have been so helpful to know for certain if the fault was there pre cambelt + water pump or only post cambelt. That would have almost made certain the fault was with the water pump.

Hiya chaps,
It's not the EGR cooler on the blink is it? A leak should leave a crusty residue.
