Well it'll only be running a safe low boost as that's no internal upgrades but a good start

he's getting warreng's C mate and supposedly today.
serviced my brothers car on the weekend and it's playing up again today ffs, being a bastard to start. mayo keeps forming on the oil cap which isn't a good sign but I'm not so sure it's the headgasket? Heaters work fine when it's running, may get some of that gasket sealant stuff maybe. He only potters to school/work and back in it so told him to give it a good thrashing and when I went over to look at it started a few times fine so not really sure what to make of it

swill just sent me a picture of it, so I assume he has got it
Was just out test driving my brothers car, saw an 05 plate gold corsa sri (gold is rare in itself I think on an sri?) on 5 stud sri's (has to be a diesel) so went on website of dealer, £3699 - thought thats not bad... 124k on the clock

is it just on the cap and not in the actual engine? coz my cap had a little crack in it which made a bit of mayo turn up which could be it. but you confiused me lol, is it fine now?
n cool, havnt seen warreng's car before but guessing its gonna be pretty descent.

just on the cap, I sprayed some carb cleaner down into the throttle body and it's idling better, I gave it a good thrashing today and theres no mayo after that, it was still playing up, then I discovered a wire near the egr valve was hanging loose - that could have quite easily have been knocked when I took the oil filter out the other day, connected it back up and touch wood it seems okay, but we'll see, really hope it's that because it's only been problematic since I serviced it
