Found the problem. The belt has snapped from the water pump and alternator.
Any handy hints on getting a new one on? Looks like the powersteer one will have to come off first. |

i got a new one from ford but you can get one wherever you like, you will need a 13mm ring spanner and a 23 or 24 ml open end spanner to get the power steer off then the same thing for the alternator i think.
on the power steer the 13 ml is the tensioner and on the altenator it's the locker, dont get them mixed up or you will strip the teeth.

the motors been cooked, that's why its boiling in the overflow.
The gauge was reading normally, because it's gone past the point of reading hot and you didn't see it, the gauge sender was then reading steam rather than water and that will not give a correct temp reading. if your lucky a new belt will be all thats needed to fix it, if your unlucky you'll need a new head gasket

I once had boiling/bubbling coolant in the Laser on hot days. Turns out the coolant was some absolute brown sludge that was god knows how many years old. I changed it and it's been fine ever since.

Got the belt on after battling the oil sludge (to find the bolts) and all seems good!
