The car overheated a few times last month whilst being driven by my father, thought the system may have been suffering from an airlock etc but I had a sniff-test performed and it came back with gases detected.
...meaning of course head gasket failure.Ive been reading around posts from the past and many people have said not to trust the sniff test as a definite method therefore meaning it might not be my head gasket etc.
Theres no mayo to be found but Im stuck as to what to do now.I love my car but I dont have the time, money
(especially at the moment) or general means, due parking my car on the road near London, Im not mechanically gifted really, although I love to have a crack at trying to do most things myself.....this however seems beyond my abilities. Overall though, what do people recommend I do in first def confirming it is the head gasket, let alone go about fixing it.
I read someone said its easier to fit a new engine??.....has anyone had good experience of doing this? Sounds far fetched to me but Ive been told its cheaper.Other advice was to sell the car as is.
...like I said Im not really in the financial position given Ive been told the bill from a garage could be £500+ and the cars only prob worth £1200 maybe, I love my MR2 and its mint all over so perhaps this is best, im torn.Any advice or thoughts are welcome.
Thanks.
