My 'daily driver' is a Punto Sporting; I always worry about the head gasket going but up to now it's been completely reliable...

Nah....thanks for the offer 'Scoob99' but I am gonna look for somethin nearer to September....I have summer off(Music teacher) so, only 5 weeks left of term...may aswell use the Scoob! Grrrr!
Gonna go to the auctions and get something!

To be honest 'lordretsudo', it was a bit my fault with the Punto death....it had a problem with idling at 1200revs but couldn't be arsed getting it fixed cos the car was worth VERY little. Was fine....just had to keep on-top of filling up the radiator......erm...then I stuffed up last monday and had to pull over in rush-hour traffic...seemed ok....ran all week...well...until thursday...I got up for work....put some water in and must'av screwed the radiator cap the wrong way(it wasn't on properly!!!!
Drove to work(the cap must'av fallen off round the corner from house)...realised in afternoon but had to get home...so...I just winged it home and thats what killed it!
I mean...it was already on its death bed...I just helped it along...LOL!

Didn't think it was gonna pass its mot in august anyways....not cost effective to fix it! Best buy another! LOL!
