has overheated vehicle please engine quot appreciated stop advice immediately

"Stop Vehicle Immediately Engine Has Overheated" Advice appreciated please
#1
Hello, thanks for allowing me to join your forum.
I have a 2013 Astra Tourer Auto 2.0 CDTI SRI which I'm very fond of and have owned since Sept 2016.
It's been faultless in the time I've owned it, and has done about 54000 miles, normally goes very well, and has full Vauxhall history.

Today, however after an 8 mile drive at fairly low speeds it broke down.

I had just negotiated a roundabout when a message came up on the display "Stop Vehicle Immediately Engine Has Overheated"
I pulled  over and lifted the bonnet. The coolant and oil levels were normal - it was just serviced at a Vauxhall dealer recently - and the fan was on. There were no leaks underneath.

Re starting the engine, it sounded not well at all, very rattly.

My car was recovered on a lorry to the Vauxhall dealer in my home town.
As soon as the recovery driver started the engine, the temperature gauge went up to maximum with the same overheating warning on the display and "binging" noise. Even though the car had been sitting for about 25 minutes with the engine off.

So I'm waiting for the Vauxhall dealer to give me a diagnosis tomorrow. I'm really hoping it's not terminal !

Has anyone on here experienced anything similar with their Astra ?
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
