Fucking hell Doyle I told you about 3 weeks ago that it will be the headgasket, the heads probably warped hence why it's done another gasket so quickly.
Make sure whoever is doing it skims the head properly and doesn't do a lash up on it.

The reason the headgasket has gone is becuase the rad went and you continued to drive it round with sky high temperatures

Rad was fine, Shit garage persumed it was the rad because it kept heating up, The car never over-heated. Doyles terms of overheating is it getting to 100degreas. Not actully fully overheating
Basically whoever did the headgasket last time was shit, And most prob didnt skim it proply?
