Head Gasket gone
Big up to the RAC who towed me 60 odd miles to Shinne's house, and also to Shinne who will hopefully have it back running by Sunday

Riding in recovery vehicles is cool though. You'd never have that experience with an inlet manifold.

wasn't this car for sale?
i see a lot of motors for sale on here, then a week or so later they have broken 
why do some people get a conversion then sell car after a week of getting engine
