Engine trouble. Need help urgently!

[ScottieJ]

if you can smell fuel vapour coming from the radiator then it is very likely the head gasket has gone i'm afraid to say!

Gutted, I guess I will have to get that sorted out then. Is there anyway of running it with the gasket gone for a bit as I just want to get it on the road and am hating all these set backs. When I have driven it up my lane to test it, it just feels so un road worthy, like lots of clanks at a fair bit of rolling noise (probs need to just change the diff oil etc I think). Is this what they all feel like hahaha or is it just that mine is in a bad state.

Anyway slowly but surely getting there so not all bad.

Muddy kev great shout. I have just looked on the net and there is holts wondarweld which looks pretty good. As you say its worth a bash to see if it helps at all. If it fails then new head gasket, if it works then fantastic. It will not do it any harm.

Thanks for the heads up
