the rattling noise is starting to piss me off now, i don't know if its because it hasn't been started in a while but i would of thought any noise because of that would of stopped after being run for a few mins

just have to put bumper and bonnet back on then its done

on another note im gonna have to invest in some security sooner rather then later now as my cars being kicked out of the garage as my dad has been given an old car so i've been told its his garage as he pays the bills so his car is going in their haha

well i notice abit of water coming out of the exhaust today so i checked the oil and its got mayo then i checked oil cap and more mayo so the headgasket has gone which is a right bastard as i changed the engine because of problems.

i was so pissed off earlier but now i just feel like selling it and buying a red corsa but i won't i will keep on trucking haha

a project just wouldn't be the same if it all went smoothly but its put things back like getting a new door ect

Compression test would only tell you the head gasket had gone if it had gone between the cylinders iirc and if you got mayo, the head gasket might have gone on one of the water jackets leaking water into the engine, im not sure if it has gone on the water jackets if a compression test would pick up on it
