my rover75 turbo blew a gasket so this was replaced as was nearly everything else in engine,car broke down after 2 days all the water from the rad had drained into the engine, stripped everything again, replaced gasket etc, car seemed to be ok for 1 day, running smoothly, then car stopped steam started coming from engine, no water in rad again, no sign of water lying on ground etc, water appears to be draning straight into engine.... any ideas

Is it a Rover garage ? The cylinder liners have got to be right or it will leak again .

not a rover garage,how can all the water go into the engine within seconds?no warning lights of any kind , just dies and some steam coming from engine..... put more water into car same again just goes into engine after running for a few mins

As previously suggested liner issue ,or crack in head or gasket again ,smoke test may help to pinpoint the issue.
