Waargh!
Something similar happened to The Volvo in the spring, although in its case, the radiator's top hose stub sheared off. Luckily, apart from needing a new radiator, no damage was done as I was only a minute's drive from home and not still on the A127 going 80mph...
Here's a picture of it idling to itself just after I'd bodged the top hose back on and refilled the cooling system with tapwater (I replaced the radiator the next day). It looks a bit ****ed off...
