Thanks T-Cut! That's really helpful. Glad head gaskets are rare, I think I may just buy a new cap and fingers crossed it doesn't happen again.

Only reason I thought possible fusebox area fault was it listed cooling system twice on the list I was reading, however I see now in the manual that's only for a Turbo model.

On a tangent but also kind of related note, I see from the diagnostic list you posted a link to that it's possible to read the VIN.

I'm after getting a key made as my RCL doesn't work and the guy I spoke to today said that it may be that it's had a drowned ECU at some point, if it has then the VIN in the ECU may not be the same as what is on record for key coding purposes.

Is the VIN I'd get up on screen one taken from whichever ECU is fitted to the vehicle or is it just written to the instrument cluster?
