The 04 v-ltds are not spec c's, they are standard STi's with the roof vent 
Just Sport
About 55% of the way down this list is a JDM STi V-Ltd, nice pics of it, got a good look at 2 of these when they came into the country
biggest givaway is that pic of a spoiler, there is no engine oil cooler and it has a rear wash wipe which no spec c (even special editions) come with and there aint no ariel on the drivers side pillar
Still, its a rare car, only 3-4 in the country

I am no the owner of an STI V-Limited thanks to Immy at PCM. I will be doing a write up of the service from PCM in the near future (which is exellent by the way). Just got to wait 6-8 weeks now for the car.
Cheers,
Phil.

Well done Phil! The service from PCM will be excellent, the wait however seems to take a lifetime 
No reflection on PCM it's just that Japan is a long way from the UK

The radiator side tanks and the header tank (plastic) are prone to splitting. I had this on mine also. It was a hair line split that only let water out when the car was fully up to temperature, as the pressure inside the coolant system would be high at this point.

You need to give it a very good inspection. Top the water up and run it till it starts steaming/ smoking then get a torch out and see where the leak is coming from. Check under the car to see if there is water dripping.
It could be the radiator, a hose, the header tank and also on the back of the engine block there is a metal water pipe which can also leak.

OK just took it for a run and it started to smoke. It had green fluid dripping and spray marks, it is coming from the left side. To inspect properly will i need to take the bumper off.
Thanks Neil
