Default car's just split a water pipe!

just been into town in the saph to pick up the focus. was parking up outside a shop to get the missus some tootie frooties.

anywho i come back out and she ask's if the car should be steaming form the bonnet vent's.

got the car up to work an popped the bonnet. no water in the headertank. really strong smell of antifreeze. i squeezed the top hose and could hear the wter bubbling out. first i thought it was the bottom hose that had split. but thankfully it's the little un going from the thermostat to the turbo. just cut a bit of hose off the diesel scrapper so it'll be sorted tomorrow.
