most of you will know this but feel i should remind. with even colder weather to set in i advise you check your antifreeze content, espiecially if you have been regularly topping up with water. basically today had a corsa non start, opened up the bonnet, and straight away noticed no antifreeze in the coolant very clear. also sign of imulsification, got it inside tried turning it over by hand and it was solid so removed the plugs and the bores where completely full of oil, so basically what started of as a basic head gasket replacement has gone into a cracked block requiring an engine. a couple of people on here have had this problem already so advise ya doublecheck
