   recently my head gasket has blown on my 1.1 02 reg saxo. and water has flooded into the engine! ive rang different garages but repair really isnt worth the cost of the car. but i have seen this sealant on ebay. does anyone have any advice on it? does it work, and how do i do it?

   As a temporary get you home fix it may work.
   I wouldnt trust it to work for long.

   well normally i would say a waste of time and money but on an old corsa i had the water was going into head so added a simular thing to the exspansion tank and 6000 miles later still no problem

   would i have to flush the engine out? get rid of all water and oil. and then re add water to coolant system with the sealant and oil to the engine
