Head Gasket Failure

[chrisg]

Now then,

I've got my saxo at 73526 miles, when is it likely for a vtr headgasket to fail?

My mates went around similar milage, and I'm a bit worried about it thats all...

also, what is it i've heard about the drive shafts bending and stuff?

Just gathering information on this sort of stuff :)

Cheers.

Depending on use your may be showing signs now, check for oil leak above alternator, losing water, overheating, water soiund under dashboard etc. Drive shafts are weak points in transmission and suffer if the car is driven hard. Never heard of them bending though, ususally just cv joints wear.

Is it easy to change?
Or whats the average price to get it sorted?
