Unhappy How gutted am I???


Bought a Jeep a couple of weeks back - got it at a pretty good price and wanted it for work - as it turns out - its not quite right so put it on e-bay! Got offered a few cash deals but along came the diamond in the rough - got offered an IMMACULATE car - absolute gem!
Had to meet him at Toddington (half way marker) and low and behold - just before Watford on M25 and the Jeep started to overheat . RAC came to the rescue with some bad news - head gasket (poss). Doesn't seem to be losing any water from anywhere, no water or oil contamination So I'm hoping against hope that the build up of pressure is something else. The guy who was already at the services was VERY understanding - even said we could still have a deal - so maybe things may turn round!

Desperately need a diagnosis for definate though - any mechanics?? (Cornelius??)
