Default Explosion from the engine...

Hey all,

As some of you might know, im always around here sooking at how im stuck with my good old Ford Falcon despite a few attempts at getting a rex so far.

Im curious, just if anybody might know in general, i pulled up outside my mechanic on friday to drop my gran off to get her Holden, and my motor made this wierd bang noise and then the car started shuddering and eventually stalled and turned off (Automatic car...)

Turns out the radiator hose had clean come off the radiator... when it did im not sure. Could have been that trip.. could have been in the few days before. Needless to say been driving the car around with no cooling system whatsoever. Ford also decided for whatever reason that if theres no fluids in the cooling system the temperature guage should read NORMAL.

I know my radiator and hoses gotta be replaced, but what might the explosion have been. Is it head gasket or cylinder? AU XR6 engine time???
