Do remember when I briefly had a Hillman Husky (the Imp derivative), that my father, who was normally mechanically savvy, topped the radiator, as he thought, using quite a lot of water.....the oil-filler cap was on the rear load-bay edge, and to be fair did look quite like a rad-cap.......Thank heavens he told me "you're very low on water" after about the third pint........

Amazingly after leaving everything to settle, we were able to drain all the water out via the sump plug.......and the engine survived........
