I had a similar incident about 3 years ago (think there's a post somewhere on here)
Found coolant had it pressure tested and was all OK - No holes or leaks.
Can't actually remember the full outcome, maybe a new cap fitted?
What I do remember doing was cleaning crud off the rad that had been flung into the centre from the wheel.
Did this with ordinary hose pipe (don't use excess high pressure hose or cleaner) and ensured thereafter that I rinsed rad (from back) every clean

It will be sitting in Heathrow customs by now.  Probably another 7 days yet before someone contacts you for money

But I'm in Ireland.  :surrender:

Probably even more expensive in Dublin, Shannon or wherever it is sitting, then
