Hey guys. Right, my head gasket is blown. Im saving just now for a new engine and fitting, almost there but is there anything i can do to keep it running or will it eventually die? i keep topping it up with water and re-newing the oil. Will that be enough until i have the cash? Was gonna put an XE in but cant be bothered anymore. Ive got one but its too much hassle so looking for a 1.6 GSi or 1.6 sport. If all else fails then a 1.4 sport. My car is a 1.4 16v Sport. Im not gonna bother getting it fixed. The head will be warped without a doubt.
