Its all fixed now but something people might want to keep an eye on.
The return to the top of the expansion tank (I'm assuming its an overflow feed) that runs along the bulkhead has a section of rubber tubing that then connects to a section of plastic tubing.
Shortly after finishing driving I was having a good peek under the bonnet and noticed coolant bubbling out from this join. Looks like the clip had lost tension after all these years. There was also some tape around the plastic part for some unknown reason, so that was removed, it was all cleaned up and a shiney jubilee clip put back into place.
No more bubbles or coolant loss from there now, but worth keeping an eye on people :D
