by the way, tis only a 1.8 not a 2.5,
I gathered it was the 1.8 the V6's don't get HGF ;P

It is possible, but unlikely... Its worth starting the engine and doing a visual inspection of all the pipes etc, pay close attention to where the head meets the block and also to the inlet manifold, for me the water was leaking out in an obscure place that I couldn't see, but when I located it it was VERY obvious that was the problem

Oh and I had no water on the floor at all because the coolant was going direct into the exhaust pipes...
