'92 172, Lotus Elise
just been towed home by the RAC. Think the head gasket has gone!
was in town, doing about 20mph. it started to idle funny (like it was firing on 3cyls. i pull over and it stalls. Try to restart it and eventually it gets going, only for the dodgy turnover and it stalls again.
tried to restart it again and the starter motor just whirred!
called the RAC out. turns out the starter motor had come lose. he re-attached that using the one bolt that was left. it started fine. but still misfiring etc...
Looked in the cyclinders and there is a nice amount of oil/water in there!
bugger
The car was running fine until this. went to a mates house yesterday evening and it was fine. The max speed i could've done was about 35mph.
Hope it isnt hgf. Im starting a new job on monday.. kinda need to be there
