It doesw sound like a headgasket problem mate :(

Get it to a garage asap and ask them to carry out a leakdown test, to check the compression in each cylinder.

hi all,
Can anyone help me, left my car on tick over and it sounds like it running on 3 cylinders (but its not because its fine wen I rev it) , its smells rich, its smoking like mad (untill im going about 40 mph and it stops), my driving temp is around 100 degrees, and theres a lot of pressure in the water system (even wen left over night). I'm thinking its the head gasket but i'm not 100%. Can anyone suggest any thing??

Thanks
