It was a lovely day and I was driving with my beautiful 75 to Amsterdam.
Suddenly .......... "engine overheated"

Last year I got a "new engine" in my 75, thought I could drive for a long time without problems. Wishfull thinking. Checking the liquids every week and also before I drove to Amsterdam everything looks ok.
After I stopped the loss of coolant and oil was extreme, how is it possible.

A garage has checked everything and it appears to be the........ headgasket (again) I have the MLS.
Till now I've spent more than € 6500 on my car.
Did several mods: leather interior (electric), chrome bullets, torpedo,s, wooden/sandstone steering wheel, crofts finishers, illuminated sunvisors, bought last year the powerfolds and was just planning to come over to the nano meeting for fitting them.
I think, and it hurts, that this is it for me. I hope the engine can be repaired under warranty. Will hear it tomorrow, then selling the car.
A beautiful car but I have to be realistic that the spending is far over the limit now and have no confidence in driving it anymore.

It was and will be a pleasure to read the posts on the forum, altough I drive a Twingo now
