Default S1 RS Turbo Problems !!! Help me.

Right my car has decided enough is enough and is now starting to give me some serious problems.

Went up the Birmingham races yesterday no real problems checked oil and water before I went and thought everything was fine. Had a little play nothing excessive and parked up for the majority of the night.

When we decided to go up Hams Hall went along the motorway nothing sinister till we pull of the M42 and I see smoke or steam appearing from under the wing (S1 turbo header tanks have a extra outlet by the cap which has a pipe going into the wing area) Thoguht nothing of it as the car was fine not overheating or anything. Pulled up steam stopped, went home all seemed ok.

Went to go pick the missus up all seemed fine just a lot of white smoke. Then when ever i was pulling over to drop her friends off my car was running lumpy, like it was on 3 but would clear after a bit of a drive and there was a shedload of white smoke.

Got it home all semed ok. bit concered with all thats gone on now car runs lumpy on start up and the water system seems pressurized.

I have been told by two sources that my headgasket is fucked! No oil in the water or water in the oil. It seems to be pressurising the system as I see activity in the header tank straight after start up.

Anybody got any ideas???? Is it more terminal???

Cheers Lads/Ladies
