so it all started by having a shit week and suspecting the head gasket was on its way out. but at the moment live 200miles away from the girlfriend and had a long weekend off work and college so decided on thurs to go up. . . what a big mistake!! got 150miles and it started to over heat and had forgot to put a bottle of water in the back as i was rushin, so seeing a sign for services in 15miles i decided to take it easy up the m6 toll road and give it a rest there fill it up n check the oil, but cause my week was going so well the temp needle went mad n went off the gauge so as soon as that happened i dipped the cluch n swung it across to the hard shoulder but all was too late, oil light, warning light n engine management light came on n engine cut out, wat do i do. . . .

Don't buy a recon one then, get a second hand one from someone on here.

J100RSA (username) would be a good bet, he's often got a few...
