hi guys excuse my ignorance but if ur head gasket was away how long would it run for and would any symptoms jump out at u?
reason im askin is i went to see a blue classic the other day, guy took me a run in it but only 5 mins. car seemed fine to me but i dont have a clue about cars just know how to drive them lol. i have now been told that someone else seen it advertised a few months ago with a blown head gasket and am worried incase its fooked and i end up with it

 

hg failure is sometimes hard to spot, but when mine went car will not pull very well was missfiring there will be white/grey steam smoke present from exhaust, uses water etc:

 

If in doubt, walk away.

There are plenty out there and it is a buyers market. You might find it advantageous to take a knowledgeable mate with you to view. Buyer beware.

 

As above. If you aren't 100%, don't buy. They are an expensive car to run without buying problems.....

 

THANKS GUYS
