But DLVA now know I don't own it any more that is the important thing.
I think the final straw was when I looked in the header tank and it appeared to be more oil than coolent and it was also full of rust. I liked car and its why I got upset but with the constant insurance payments, tax being due and the fact it had no MOT and the fact nobody would look at it for less than £500 meant it was my only option.
The engine kept pinking all the time too so that was always something else to go and the gearbox made a racket but could have just needed oil. But my point is it needed a lot more doing than just a head gasket.
My dads Fiesta actually sounds much quieter to the point I have thought I had stalled a few times at lights, its the old overhead valve engine which are known to be noisy too. Now I am getting used to the Fiesta it is not a bad little car it jsut dosn't feel as new.
