EBD= electronic brakeforce distribution. works with abs to help with stability control so its harder to spin etc.

sent an email anyhow.

The engine over heated for too long - there was a water leak which started the problem!

Probably the thermostat housing. This is made from a plastic (PA66-GF30) that does not have the correct temperature properties for its location. Hence these tend to fail quite regularly. We had 2 cars come in today that had leaking thermostats.

It's in a garage in Chorley - spoke to the mechanic there this morning - the engine is in the car but the gaskets are off.
