I sat in a drive thru queue earlier and there was some steam, then quite a lot more steam, then the vast majority of the cooling system contents on the floor, limped over the road to the petrol station with the heaters on full and topped up with evian to get home, that'll teach me for just using water after I did the oil cooler at the start of the week just to tide me over until payday. Straight to a car place on the way home and bought the proper coolant / anti freeze (pink one) dumped the contents of the system after it had cooled down and put the right stuff in, and now the car blows blue smoke out of the exhaust permanently if it's on fast idle once up to temp, I haven't driven it yet, maybe the 5w30 I put in at the start of the week is a little too thin when hot, time will tell.
