its not really ragging it that causes the head gasket to go, the main cause is overheating coupled with hard driving, if ur coolant is working correctly then u shld be ok going on that little mileage

..........it fookin pours!!!!!!!!!!!!

had my corsa for nrly 2 yrs and never had anything wrong with it maintenance or accident wise, ive only had to pay for MOT and servicing costs which were cheap

BUT..........

i now need new brake pads, my drums fixing cos handbrake if buggered, need 4 new 195/45/16 tyres, got a huge stone chip on the bonnet (down to metal) on motorway on fri afternoon, then got a huge stone chip in the front wing on the nite (was racing a mondeo :lol:) which is guna cost me loads 2 sort out

AND........to top it all off, i think my head gasket may be on its way out :(:( ive got pressure in my water, im not sure tho, the car still runs like a dream and is only T reg, done 26k miles (seen the redline a few 2 many times tho)

better go n get that overdraft extended :(:(:(:(:(:(
