Headgasket
Is there any other way, apart from the obvious Mayo on dipstick, of telling that my headgasket is on its way out?? Ive been told that sometimes if it is, it can blow the rad, and ive just had to get a new one, is this true, or could it just be a coincidence?

Check for oil and water mixing in the exspansion tank, mayo in the filler cap is not usually a sign on h/g going but a blocked breather. Hope it aint serious mate
