Mini One 2003 1.6 - getting hot problem
#1
My girlfriends mini is getting really really hot, temp gauge goes to the top, fan kicks in and sounds like a jet taking off, interior blowers are only blowing cold air, Radiators not warming up with the engine to suggest the thermostat isn't opening or closing, coolant keeps disappearing but there's no sign of water mixing with the oil in the engine on the dipstick or oil filler cap so it doesn't sound like the head's gone to me and also there's no visible leaks on the back of the block or even under the car as she drives it forward, it's pointing towards the thermostat in my opinion and/or waterpump and airlocks in the system.

Anyone else have any ideas? 

Garage this morning said it'll be the head gasket but I mentioned what I think it might be and they weren't happy with me sort of knowing what I was talking about as if the pound signs were wiped from their eyes.

Any help is appreciated!
