Head Gasket??

[ollie240585]

Yay, I believe my head gasket has gone!!!

Header tank is now full of black.....erm.....water....oil....combination with some nice white sludgy crap floating on top of it.

Head Gasket gone??

Or my car being posessed by the devil and having black blood??

Anyone have any thoughts on whether this is the head gasket??

i always fill the rad to the brim and look for bubbles to check a head gasket

So pour the water into the top, and see if there's bubbles coming out of the radiator. Good thinking, may try that one tomorrow.

If it has gone it's not the end for the micra. I'd call in the exorcist first, just to make sure it isn't possessed.

If it is the head gasket, I may consider just stripping it, got too many things wrong with it, needs new: Windscreen and Steering Rack, Injector Fault sorted, continuous power drain fixed, and now head gasket, it's getting to the uneconomical repair territory.
