2005 Fiesta Heat Matrix

[slickj]

Hello All

Ive got a 2005 "55" Fiesta which I have had from new currently done just under 50K miles I was on the M1 yesterday and doing round 105 mph (yes i know rather daft of me burdening the 1.25 lol) when all of a sudden a cloud of smoke appeared behind me...I thought had knackered the car becasue there was white smoke all over the place. I called RAC out who Diagnosed the faults as a split in heat matrix hose which had leaked all the coolant out hence all the smoke but is this a common fault on these cars......hes done a temporary fix so it looks like is going for a new hose on monday.

im also experiencing creaky noises when my steering is on full lock towards the right any one else experiencing this??
