hi guys, in need of some advice.
not sure if headgasket is on the way.
things i can tell you are the heaters arn't great, overheates occasionally after stopping in traffic for 3-5 mins then temp wont come down even with heaters on. flushed water system through and has seemed to top the overheating for the min.
was drinking water but not too bad now and today checked oil cap and i have a slight yellowish/creme coloured substance.
no smoke from the exhaust or anything but has alot of pressure in the water tank when i open it.
what do you guys reckon??
