Thanks RichieST

i did some more digging this morning after i remembered about the coolant loss and found out about the issue, so i called ford who couldnt tell me if it had been done or not. only thing they said was it was due a clutch pressure plate check recall. can i look under the bonnet and tell? if so which hose is it please?

also i didnt notice any overheating on the temperature gauge stayed in the middle. i did also find this page https://www.pressreader.com/uk/auto-...81586650820076 so not looking good :-( expensive bill to come i suspect. its a 12 plate with only 60k on it.
