Leaks & Noises
A few days ago i went to get in my car and i saw a puddle under my car so i opened the bonnet and the there was no water in the water bottle i had not driven it for a couple of days so i went to get some water i refilled the water bottle and went back into my house to get my dads car keys and by the time i came back out the puddle was bigger i have driven once since and the temp gage would start off at the bottom and then as i was driving it would slowly move up to over half way and when the car is stationary for a few mins is goes back down but as soon as i start driving again it goes back up

You will have to find where water leaking from first , could be water pump but other possible causes .

Hi
I have had this fault a few times, if you find it is getting progressively worse, and the leakage tends to fall on the floor near the wheel on the driver's side, then there is a strong chance it is the water pump which has gone.
Also check it isn't the head tank that has sprang a leak, that happened on mine this year because of the freezing temperatures. Signs to look for are antifreeze on the top of the engine. This is cheap to fix, i got mine for about £5 from a the scrap yard.
It is also possible the radiator could have a small leak, in which casse a dose of Radwell should do the trick.
Hope this helps
