Do an atf change as a minimum, fairly quickly as well. If you find bits of plastic in front sump, then its a gearbox off job to change the thrust washer.
i have the car booked in nx week for oil/filter and front discs/pads change ill get them to check it over.atf change means nothing to me TheBoy lol.
ok so what price would i be looking at for the gearbox off etc
be gentle

thanks guys for your thoughts and help on the matter,i again contacted VX this morning and told them not to take the car out on a run monday as this will do even more damage to the engine the latest is, they are going to get there so called head mechanic to have a look at the car monday. ive been in touch with trading standards this morning they have told me to put into writing everthing whats happened and therefore give VX 5 working days to resolve the matter otherwise it will be taken further.

They shouldn't have had to disturb the cooling system at all - unless they changed the waterpump. Even still, it would take a special kind of muppet to make a mess of this.
They handed the vehicle back in a state where it would have destroyed itself had you not had an eye on the gauge. I would insist that it was working when you gave it to them, they have broken somnething so they need to fix it gratis.
For that sort of money this level of service is unacceptable.

i agree with you kevin its just not on and to had to it i know its nothing but the drivers feet mat was filthy on picking the car up and i always keep my cars in good clean condition,they is going to be a few harsh words tomorrow

So........
The car wasn't overheating when you took it in.
After they've worked on it it overheats after 10 mins.
They say a slight leak from the heat exchanger?
Do they mean the radiator at the front of the engine?
Or the cabin heater matrix where they wouldn't have been anywhere
near doing a cambelt change?
Where was the leak from?
How much did you you lose to overheat in 10 mins?
Is there any damage to the radiator near where they were
working, that looks like impact damage from careless use
of tools?
If the radiator is damaged on the rear, the engine side, it's
likely that something has hit it from the engine side. This can
only be done by someone working within the engine bay unless
your fan or shroud is damaged or loose.
the car as never overheated
after driving the car for 10 mins i noticed the temp go up pritty quick and then noiticed steam coming from under the bonnet.
i pulled over lifted the bonnet and water had come out of the coolant box(not sure if thats the right word for it)i then took the top of the coolant i noticed the coolant had dropped by half to what it was before taking into VX
help
i just feel it was a rush job.
