Twice now in the past week I’ve had an error on my screen about the engine overheating. I’m usually going 75mph at the time. I’ll push the clutch in a lay off the power and this will disappear. I then stop at a service station both times and checked coolant and it is fine and bright pink. Once I’ve stopped and set off again I don’t have any issues for the rest of my journey. Also the car only has 75hp but it feels down on power before I get the engine over heating warning. Once I pull over like I said before and start up the car again it fees like it pulls harder from 60+ mph. I’m booked in to get this check in a couple of weeks but does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

​

Some background info:

- A month or 2 ago I managed to damage my radiator while reversing over a curb while my undertray was half off. I could see a leak in the radiator and coolant was going down when I went above 50mph. Got the radiator changed and haven’t had an issue with coolant leaks since.

- Car is due for cambelt and water pump change (booked for 2 weeks time but should have been done a year ago) Belt doesn’t look damaged though

- The cars telling me 600 miles then oil and service is needed which is also booked in for 2 weeks time.
