Help me I don't know what I am doing!!!!!!!
Thrasher:
If it using *that* much coolant *and* you have white slime.....thne sorry to say it does sound like the head gasket.
However, short runs in humid/cold weather can also produce the same in the rocker....not normally associated with coolant loss of this degree tho :(
landraver:
Think you're right to say its the head gasket. If the engines been running a while, put your hand a couple of inches from the tail pipe for a few seconds, if its soaking wet after that time, then you're right :(

--- Quote from: "NicePinkWellies" ---Engine is ticking over and smoke is coming out of the exhaust. Took the cap off the radiator and bubbles are coming out. Could be an air lock, but that doesn't explain the smoke.
I love my car!!!

NiceBlueWellies:
The drive looks empty now - Cherry has gone to a man who can! :(

**UPDATE**
Dr Neil removed the head and sent it off for crack testing...........
Its a scrapper :cry: :cry:
Good news is that Dr Neil also managed to source a complete recon head in Birmingham which Julie and Charity went over and picked up today.
More bad news is that Charity decided to collapse a wheel bearing on the way home :?
Anyway here are a couple of pics I took tonight at Dr Neils sanctuary for poorly landies. Tomorrow, all being well, we will put Cherry back together before I sort Charity's wheel bearing 'situation'.
