took my stag out for the first time in nearly 6 months, got about 4 miles, then the problems started
1. engine getting hot / but not in the red.
2. pinking noise fron engine on under slight load
3. pulled over, steam from engine,expansion bottle pushing water out
4. gently let pressure out of the bottle, moved heater control to hot and went another 2 mile very moderate speed, temp gauge over half wat but not near the red
5. engine cut out at lights, engine very hot, but top of rad COLD,
6. called out recovery, thermostat fully open but engine very hot.
7. towed home
8. guy reckons head gasket,
had the car 20 years, only done 10k miles in 13 years on a soc recon engine
any ideas but probably head gasket sob sob !!!!
