Well i was in sutton the other day and in the town centre i noticed the red ignition light come on and the temperature start to rise, I drove about half a mile and then parked up and turned it of, turned out my bespoke alternator bracket had snapped. rubbish.....So when i got home i started it quickly just to check it was ok.....seemed fine......but also seemed to be down to 3 cylinders. (head gasket in my mind) guess i can't really tell till i do a compression test (sunday). Do you reckon it could be a plug or something breaking down under heat?
