Yep, it was the head gaskets. Roadspeed have done so much on the car and have been fantastic. Reconditioned the rad, new water pump, alternator etc etc. Chris really knows his stuff, he's the grandaddy of GTA's IMHO!

IMHO = In my humble opinion (that was for Andy!)

Shame i couldn't get the car down to the Ace Cafe on Monday, i've been laid up with a trappd nerve in my back - bloody painful!
