Watched the Speyside Stages rally at the weekend. 2 x Mk3 Astra GSis were running but the 6R4 was by far the most entertaining

Thats a good company to work for, at least it always used to be.
I'd like to change trades, just don't know where to start!

Going to my friends garage 100% sure my headgasket had gone, to find I still had good compression and a pressure test on the coolant system revealed a weeping (which soon turned into a full flow) pump seal. Then getting a good deal on a continental belt pump and tensioner, just a thermostat to find now 
Thanks kev, and all the staff at mk3oc
Took the car for a good run yesterday to make sure it was leak free and generally OK to go further afield in, heaters smelt a bit fumey but being a hot day with traffic I thought nothing of it. Just been outside to check the levels now, of course I remembered to put the oil cap back on afterward on wednesday when I last checked the oil after a change... Panicking straight to the dipstick, it's on its lowest marker so haven't run it criminally low, next problem, I'm going to need a cap, no way will it still be in the engine bay... There it is hiding down the side of the battery. Disaster Averted, with my luck lately it should have jumped into the Cambelt just as the engine was about to seize up

CHECK ENGINE
I had a woman who came in my shop once, she tried to change her own oil. But didn't put the cap on. As she was driving into my shop i could hear a little knocking!
Oil was seeping out from underneath the headlights. And the moment i opened the hood, everything was coated in the stuff lol. Sadly Engine failure, A little toyota yaris isn't worth the hassle.
So she scrapped it. Call yourself lucky haha
