Not on my car but our works shitter of an Escort with a 1.3 Duratec engine

Anyhow my boss came into the office the other day and said 'I think I've broken the car' we asked what he was on about then he said he was driving along and steam started puring from the bonnet! But he carried on driving it the next 5 miles back to work We popped the bonnet and there was steam and oil EVERYWHERE!
The reason I am telling you this is because I want to know if there is (hopefully ) gonna be more damage to the engine than just the headgasket seen as though he carried on driving it after it went? Cos if thats the case we'll be getting a new works car

omg, sh1t! i recommend not ever using the car again because if you fix it it might cause a blow out on the offside rear tyre, causing the head gasket to blow again!

Looking good for a new work car hey!

Aye it is looking like a new car is on the cards if its gonna cost alot. Although by new I mean another old shitter as my boss hates spending money on cars Its good fun trying to destroy them though. Old work car got broken into and the steering wheel and ignition barrel ripped off, think my boss thought I'd put someone up to it lol!
Best thing about having a shitty old work car to go to site in is ragging it everywhere on fuck all oil wondering how long it will take to blow it up

Also getting into my Corsa feels like luxury after driving round in an old Escort at work
