    ok probley done to death but searched and its melting my head lol

    ok started the car today and i had the whole scooby/tractor noise and idled shit
    like its running on 3 cylenders (cant spell)
    when i took it for a drive it ran like crap and had lack of power
    also has petrol mixing with the oil
    when it was idling then cut out my brother swears he saw a small amout of smoke come from the oil/vent filter thingy lol
    i have no warm air from my fan and the car is to cold to sit in

    thought i would put it all togeather and see what people think it it

    btw there is no moyo/custard in the coolant filler bottle

    this car is starting to piss me off lol

    best thing to do is go to a local garage, open your header tank and hold an exhaust emissions reader (most garages will have them) over the header tank opening, if the reading shoots up it shows that your exhaust fumes are getting into the coolant and this spells head gasket. i did that and the reading went from around 4-5 from the normall air in the garage to about 700 over my head tank haha
