Something still sounds wierd about the whole thing though.
You pop up on the scene asking tons of questions so that you can relay them to your boyfriend, why doesnt he ask himself, or is he shy?

Thats probably the reason the headgasket had gone in the first place (if its the same car)
yeah it is the same car and i think it leaked before the head gasket was fixed. not sure though!
getting it sorted tomorrow at api

is it me or has the class of the average subaru owner plummeted again recenty?

I suspect my selling up may have brought the level down even faster!

You've started 16 threads in 12 days, I think you need counselling.

no just sectioning thats all. do you know how much my head hurts, i have never been into cars and have had to jump in at the deep end here. most of the people on here have been really helpful and i really appreciate their help but people like you, will you are enough to put anyone of cars altogether.

WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?????????

oh and adam how can you make assumptions like that when you don't even know us?

are you jealous cause you haven't got a gf like me?

If my gf took an interest in cars I'd leave her!

Cars and football should really be off limits to the ladies. It's just not right.

stew911, I wasn't making assumptions about a group of people, only one person!

I don't need to know someone to see what type of person they are, I can simply read the way they write and respond to people.

And if I am wrong, big deal, I will never meet them, or better yet, I'll recant on my death bed.

No I don't want a girlfriend like you, I already have a beautiful wife.

Paul, I tend to agree, don't be fooled it isn't sexist. give very children access to a variety of toys and the girls tend to go for the dolls and the boys for the cars and the guns. Nothing sexist their, just human nature.

Had API fit a new rad a few months ago. Didn't take long and was reasonable price. Just take it steady, off boost and keep a close eye on the temp gauge on the way there. If it does overheat, don't just dump cold water into it, let it cool down first.

nope, not true. Subaru install Rad seal as standard at the factory in 2.5 litre engines to help the head gaskets seal properly.
