Well, the head gasket has gone on the dimma

I was hoping it would last, but in truth, im kinda glad its gone, means i can repair it and have an engine that doesnt overheat when i want to give it the loud pedal, pretty dissapointed i dont have enough funds to highboost it, but as this is my only car im insured on, i shall have to do this and just wait untill i can rebuild my spare engine.

Going to make a start on it tommorrow morning, never done one before, but cant be that hard aye.

It aint that hard mate just take your time removing bits,labeling up as you go along and take your time.

Only tricky thing ive come across is the far left headbolt as its under the master cylinder but a homecraftet socket and extension sorted that out Thumbs up

No, no, what I do, is order them in in full working order, then end up with a big box of bits.

It's like you with cars.
