S**t,
Just got it running great and then while out for a paper it started to misfire and now there is loads of white smoke from the exhaust under load.
It smells a little of coolant when the heaters are on too. I have already changed the HBV, heater matrix and the main coolant radiator.
Is this what I think it is, the head gasket, or can there be some other cause?
Might I need Darth Loo Knee or a kindred spirit?

Sounds like a depressingly familiar list of things building up to/caused by HG trouble.  :'(

As for Rick Astley, I think I'd rather have an epileptic hedgehog shoved up my bum than listen to him. ;D



Ouch!!!! PMSL ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :y

OUCH  :D...........what is it cruelty to hedgehog week :'(? Hope you never need him to do something for you cos his price may well be influenced by that. I have my trusty old earplugs anyway and if that don't work then its the old bluetac or I could drown it out with Basshunter.
Better idea.  :y ;D ;D I will sing along to it and that will definitely make him put Rick to bed.
As for the job, at least it will be done right with genuine bits and be back to being reliable. Freekin stranded till then. :-[
