Po-LOW
hiya, i went out to my motor yesterday and decided to check under the oil cap, just out of the blue, just in case
to my complete horror, there is the tell-tale sign of head gasket failure, the dreaded milky white oily crap under the cap!
iv been driving the car like normal and nt noticed anything abnormal, and cos i really dont have any choice im going to have to continue to do so, so i can earn my wages!
my qyestion is this, how much are we looking at to get the gasket swapped and s it honestly worth it? shud i be lookin for a new engine/car?
the worst thing is, iv JUST found the service logbook i thought was lost during my recent house move so can again prove the mileage (just over 50k) and was gonna try and sell the car to get an RSI of possibly a 16v (mayby sumthin else i really dont know) but i know i can sell the car with the current problem, so feel like i mite be throwing money away just to sell the car!
argh!! i really dunno wat to do, if i get the work done (depending on cost) then i will probly feel obliged to keep the car for longer so i can get my money's worth out of it!!
sorry if this post is a little all over the place! u just really dunno wat to do and cud really use some advice and opinions!
