i noticed smoke comin from exhaust so pulled over onto hard shoulder and noticed it was coming from engine....my mate suggested it was head gasket, then half hour later after engine cooled down and started again we noticed that the pipe that connects the radiator to the engine had 2 rather long slits in it..........had it towed home and got to drive my mums 2.0 focus around, which was different! (just thought id let you wonderful people know )
