If it's still running!

Head gasket blew the other month. Didn't see that bulk cost coming, but it is a rover engine so it was only a matter of time.

I've been mad enough to be driving around with no heater or roof on at the moment. It was -7 this morning and -8 this evening. I was 99% sure the heater matrix was leaking. After trying everything bar making a bloody hole in it myself, I can't get it to drop a drip. I think it'll be going back in, and the roof on!

Fancy the February drive - http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...
Hi, GBman - I think I spotted you a couple of times in the 7 coming through Sheet towards P'field. Brave!!

Just seen this reply.

Brave or mad? All going well so far. Are you going on the South Coast run - 8th Feb?
