The engine oil appears clean - ie no cloudiness. The car is 4 years old and done 45k miles. What is likely to be the problem - and how much will it cost?

you are in bother, it sounds like you have been running with no water in the engine due to a holed radiator. The engine will be totally beyond repair if you have run it until it stopped. A second hand engine from a breakers yard should be around £300-£400 you will have fitting on top. To sell the car as it is i doubt if you will get much more than scrap value

Sounds like your leaking radiator fluid to the outside so that is a good thing. The cost will depend on where the leak is. If it's a loose hose clamp or a leak in a hose than it will be no big deal. If it's leaking in the radiator it may cost you a little to fix. If it's leaking from an intake gasket or on the motor it may be expensive.

Oh no! How cold did it get where you live the last few nights? the coolant may have frozen and cracked the radiator. If so, you will have to get a new one. If not, it could be a lose hose.

you got a leaky radiator , you need to replace it unless you know a reliable radiator guy that can solder it up if it does'nt have plastic tanks otherwise you need a new one. have it pressure tested! dont know where your from but a replacement radiator cost about $200 U.S.

it probably has a leak some where..check for any sign of water under the car after parking overnight ..I hope it is not a
head gasket ..usually that what happens ..that would be costly

go to a local shop and have your car pressure tested it is just a loose clamp on one of the hoses.It should not be a costly repair,very minor

Check your reserve bottle tank... if it is gone, you have to buy one, or check some leakage in the radiator and there's one, fix it.
