Whilst driving back from the IOW show i got just out of Portsmouth and the temperature gauge shot through the roof, pulled in to the hard shoulder as soon as, but the engine cut before i made it,
turned out it was just a hose that had split, replaced the hose and all seemed to be fine,,,,, for a week or so, then all of a sudden it didnt feel like it was boosting right, then pulling into work noticed a plume of smoke come from the bonnet vent, popped the bonnet and found it had sprayed oil out of the breather and the header tank was empty, checked the oil level and it was above top limit,
i thought maybe it could be the head gasket, but this was only done 6 months ago and it was wire rung.
Any ideas?
