I have a 1999 1.5D 106 - There seems to be a small amount of steam coming
from the radiatior elements when idle - there is no obvious water leak and
the engine is running at normal temp. Anyone able to give me some idea what
the cause may be.

Could simply be condensation on the outside of the radiator that evaporates
when the radiator warms up, (common this time of year with the damp weather)
Keep an eye on your rad water level and if you find you are losing water try
putting in some Radweld before going and buying a new rad, my belief is it
is just condensation.
