Lost tons of coolant and red zoned temp on motorway

Hi all,



Had some pre emotive work done on corroded coolant pipes yesterday, changed the whole lot.



Well today I was driving on the motorway about 8 miles, suddenly noticed

y temp in the red zone and steam billowing out.



Got to a bp garage and would appear something didn't get tightened properly. The rubber pipe next to the alternator that fits under the inlet manifold with a jubilee has come away so lost all the coolant in the reservoir and topping it up just leads to it pouring out the pipe.



Awaiting breakdown now but just wondering how much damage could have been done in the red zone and what steps to take.



Ilk be calling the garage tommorow but unsure what line to take.



Nightmare when prevention leads to problems
