On way back from Newquay and the car suddenly became sluggish and stopped boosting. Then a nasty knocking noise started from the engine. Currently stuck trying to get passed Stonehenge to get to the service station to call the AA *angry* i am thinking possibly head gasket, any ideas?

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

It looks like the head gasket has gone, just done a compression test and there was none in 3 and 4.

Fingers crossed its just a head gasket, that would be a result, considering the other alternatives! *oh well*

I know mate, as it was driving nice and strong, I think the best it ever has. We were cruising at 70 + all the way. Then it just went funny.

Could it be a gasket from the dodgy batch?

What is it with headgaskets at the moment, my mate turned up at my house the other day with a failed headgasket. Lucky I had an old spare on the shelf.

When I build the twink I'm fitting an sc gasket, that's that decided.
