Disaster!! Just went to pick the car up. Brute force got the bonnet open, but that has dented the right side wing. Checked the levels, topped up coolant and began the drive home. 10 mins later she was overheating a little. First time thats happened since I bought the car new. Stopped to take a look and found the coolant bottle was filled to the the brim and under pressure. Moments later, it was empty. We have mayo in the oil cap, water drops on the dipstick and I believe steam coming out exhaust.
Lads, trying my best here but with the crash damage to repair and now a blown headgasket (that sounds like there will be a big mess under the head), I don't see how I can keep this car on the road! I'm gutted!
