Tonight i pulled out from work to hear a loud rattle. Look under the bonnet and find no coolant. Checked hoses which all appear sound, no leaks from rad etc. Think the head gasket has gone There's no presure when hot from the water bottle as you can take the cap off and it's been blowing white smoke for a couple of months which i thought was due to the emisions sensor i snapped when changing a filter 
Decided if the HG has gone i'll be getting shut rather than spending any money on it. Will be a sad day
Think the head has gone given it's hard life up and down the country. Was never designed for 90 MPH really.

You know you'll be gutted when you get told its a simple fix and you'll have to have it back

Really can't afford to replace it at the moment given my circumstances. Job is not safe and have a deposit on a flat, plus the flat i live in to pay for 
Really just feel like getting pissed out my face at the minute

Can't be that bad if they've just offered to get you an 18 month phone contract can it?

3 month probation, i've done a month.
Last place did the same. Got us all 18 month contracts, vans etc and then made 90% of the staff redundant That place was fucked up though..
