brief synopsis...

1994 (old shape) pug 106, just over heated on trip out (hold up)

I've just checked there was a little oil on the water (but it also looks like someone's put radweld (or similar) in there) so its all Gunky..

both oil cap and rad cap have the "tell tale" Meyo on it, but not a lot of...

IMHO the fact its in both means its deffo headgasket (I'm no expert though)

cars done over 100K (1.1 engine)

I recon its a dump n replace?? but like I say, I'm not an expert..

You are now. As I've said before, why do they construct engines with detachable heads? It's a weak point (like cambelts). DaveK.

If the head wasn't detachable you wouldn't be able to change the gasket :-))
