jeffers Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 With the amount of HGF topics recently just wondered how many of us have blown a head gasket. Pretty sure mine has once (christurbo?). I blew 2 on my last car (MG F). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I think that on latter cars this has been much less of a problem as development work continued. I have not heard of the 111s 156bhp vvc having any real issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christurbo Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 With the amount of HGF topics recently just wondered how many of us have blown a head gasket. Pretty sure mine has once (christurbo?). I blew 2 on my last car (MG F). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not when I had it. The previous owner also said it hadnt happened to him either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
