Mine loses coolant. No external leaks and compression tests shows upper end of standard specs. Sometimes s*** happens.

and it needs to be checked properly

yeah - i've added 500ml to mine in 7 years.

but with this one, if the reserve tank is completely empty in 2000km, i'd worry.

We all have bad days...

Sorry to hear about the car. Just fix it for now so you don't kill yourself and keep suggesting he sell. Best option in my opinion. Someone will want to build one up somewhere.... surely?!

it hasn't lost any radiator fluid since.

i replaced the broken front speaker and rewired the RHF speaker wire.

gonna replace the intake pipe between the afm and throttle body now. it's held together by stikaflex with tape wrapped around it.
