Mend Ford KA Endura-E Engine Coolant Thermostat

My ford ka is using (NOT leaking) alot of water?

Hi my ford KA endura-e engine has started to use alot of water, i do commute daily a total of 1hour on the motorway but im finding myself filling my cars water every other day. My father is trying to repair it, the water container is not burst, the pipes are not split and the thermastat appears to be fine (although we have ordered another to eliminate it) has anyone else had this problem before or does anyone know what this could be? thank you

if the ka has a seperate header tank for expansion which is filled and emptied via a twin sealed radiator cap, suspect the cap, if the top seal is damaged after expansion it will not be able to hold a vacume long enough after cooling down to refill the system.

If you definitely can`t see a leak then the engine must be using water internally,would suspect the head gasket but would make sure this is the problem before stripping heads off,is the system pressurising?
