Hey everyone, thanks for the help. I'm really pissed off today after getting off the phone to the mechanic.

Took the KA down to a place where i get my BMW MOT's done a few weeks back... Asked them to perform a head gasket test and replace the coolant expansion bottle that has pin hole holes in it near the cap. They told me the head gasket is fine.

Take it back drive it for 5 miles and the car over heats again.

Take it back to the gargage to get the heater control valve replaced (as car is always blowing hot air) and ask them to diagnose the issue as there saying it could be a few things (thermostat, water pump etc0 that they need to test. So i leave it with them.

I call them up today and now it's a head gasket failure. The kit has changed colour that they are using from blue to green, although theres no water in the oil or anything.

I mean... How did it not show up the last time you did the test. There's a chance i suppose that the last overheat through it over the edge (although no steam or smoke was present and as soon as it came on, i pulled it on the curb and left it over night to to cool down before collecting it)

But it just feels like it's happened since its been there - Pissed because one test had been done already, pissed because now there saying it has failed and can happen at any time blah blah.
