As above using a full bottle of water in 2 days, any ideas?

Any signs of leaks? Mine was dropping coolant from the bottom Rad hose.

Have you checked oil to see if there is any coolant mixing? Possible signs of head gasket issues?

Any visual signs of a leak? If the answers no it could possibly be the head gasket, but its quite rare on these engines.

I'd be checking for leaks before worrying about anything. Stick an old bit of cardboard under it overnight and you'll see if any water leaks out.

As per Daniel, head gaskets are not common place so more likely you have a small hole in the Rad that when the system builds pressure it pisses out

It's definatly not the head gasket as it all got checked when it was at diamond. Yeah ill have to stick some cardboard under it like dan said.
