Is200 Overheating?

[longie1985]

hello ppl, recently i have bought a new radiator because my is200 was leaking via the radiator, i paid £140 for a new one, and its been fine for the last 2 weeks, last nite i was on my way home an i heard a strange noise from the engine, and the traction light was flashing on an off?? i got it home an told my dad, and he opened the bonnet and opened the water cap, to find there was no water in the radiator? but there was none on the floor? has anyone ever had this problem? as i say the radiator is bran new, and i dont no what to do next, i am going to get a new thermostat on monday an give that a go, see if it fixes the problem? but if anyone could give me advice it would be much appreciated, thanks

Check the fitting of hoses to the radiator, if the circlip isn't exactly in the right position they will leak
