Doctor,
I don't have a Beagle but what I've got is pretty close.
And I agree with JulesK, you should get two.

R. Paterson,
It could be the crank position sensor.

Turbo,
it may be useful drain the coolant and to pressurizer your system and look for the leaking air.
The system is normally under 15 PSI.
I wouldn't go above 15 PSI
Good luck
