i have been driving it on and off most of the day and it has been fine. Then i got in it this evening and soon relised its not running on all cylinders. . My first thort was head gasket but doesnt seem to be anything on the cap or dip stick to make it seem like the fault. Any suggestions as to what it could be ? Thanks
