Probably do with a full service and get rid of those silly little water scoops on the bonnet, go back to standard with the back plates and your looking at a good car hopefully

hi guys, not good news me thinks had a play today, thursday noticed water level was a bit low so topped it up, took it for a burn few mins ago......................
overheated, drove slowly back home, water had shot out the overflow and could smell exhaust gasses in car (out the heater vents)
the dreaded head gaskets
anyone know of who could do the work around the bath area??
even if it cost £600 i still got a good deal
