Just a reminder guys, if you are losing coolant, it's always worth having your inlet manifold gasket checked, as you know a lot of garages will insist it's hgf, check your IMG first, could save you a lot of money

Sound advice, and could save you a packet as in your case Mick

My recent suspected (second) head gasket failure was a cream crackered inlet manifold gasket - easy job to do at home

tbh i thought about doing it my self with the help of a how too or two, but a mate who has his own garage quoted me £30 to do the job, so i thought why not, save me botching it up

well it's now been 4 days since the img was replaced and now it's safe to say that the coolant loss is sorted, same level and not topped up since replacement,,,, no more now i am happy
