head gaskets on 1.4 sports go between no 4 cylinder and the water jacket.
Therefore you will have all the symptons that you do have.
But no oil and water mixing as there are no oil ways near the fault.
Therefore you will not have any sludge in header tank or oil filler cap

after reading this i feel my head gasket is very gone!

although i only have these

high pressure in water tank
water loss in tank (full yest, al gone now)
thick white smoke
miss fire in the morning

thats all, there no sludge or oil in coolant tank

water loss, loads of pressure in cooling system eg big hiss when taking coolant cap off and miss fire whan first starting up in the morning for a few seconds.

overheating

Oil in coolant tank, thick white smoke from exhaust, lumpy running, blown engine, white sludge on oil filler cap/dipstick.

How can you tell if your headgasket has gone, whats the main symptons? sorry about the silly question.
