Hey,

Not a serious issue just want some advice on what others would do before I get myself more frustrated.

Mods, not sure if this is the right place for this please move its better suited elsewhere.

Long story short, got the car serviced, when I got it back off the garage didn't do that much driving for that week and was very busy so didn't have time to notice anything much being up with it. Thursday evening I noticed steam coming from the bonnet and temp gage going up a bit. It was then parked up all last weekend as I was away so had someone look at it on Sunday, coolant was completely empty.I topped it up and thought would be fine maybe the garage didn't put any in. Turns out there's now a really bad leak in my radiator, and this became apparent over the following couple of days. My car had to be taken to the nearest garage Wednesday night I had put Radweld in that day hoping to just get home on it but no such luck, ended up parked at the side of the motor way for about 2 hours.

I can't help but think that the garage that originally serviced the car are responsible for causing this problem, so what do I do? Am I wasting my time ringing them? Do I have any comeback?

The most appropriate forum for advice relating to cars would be Motors - but you cannot post there unregistered so would be unable to reply to advice you got if I move the thread.
