i think i will just sell the car as it is

bloody thing!!

[robidiot]

how many miles it done?
can you do a comp test? have you tried changing your coolant? is it just manky old coolant? i may be wrong but arent head gaskets a problem on saxos?? thought i read it somewhere. mines been done as it was leaking oil and its only done 53k miles. r reg tho.

still the head gasket oil is being forced into a water way then to rad

Yeh i would say 99% sure it's headgasket unfortunately - if you have a haynes manual and am sort of mechanically minded then you can do it yourself which will at least save you the labour!

As above, Head Gasket mate unfortunately :(

Get a compression test done to be sure before doin it thou

[robidiot]

hey it could be worse. if you can do it yourself its definately worth it as parts are cheap. its just a time consuming job. make sure you have a torque wrench tho

i havent done a comp test yet but i will do today

the engine has done 79000 miles.

i thought that if the headgasket go's that there is water in the oil aswell as oil in the water?

also the coolant was changed a few weeks back so it aint manky coolant

i will do a comp test today and tell you all the readings

i have also been offered a 42000 complete engine for £330 so i might just get that,what do ya think

I'd do it yourself mate, its not hard, unless you bugger up the timing. then you are fucked.

But its not rocket science so get yourself a service manual. Not Haines, they just tell you to get big hammers out and take off things you dont need too lol.

And get stuck in.
