Is it HGF?

Went to Motorworld today looking for some exhaust finishers - the finishers on the crappy back box I bought have started to rust. The guy there had a look at the pipes and asked if the head gasket had been done :shrug:

As it happens yes it has, temp fine, not losing coolant, and the oil is clean thanks.

Got me thinking though - what else could be put down to HGF, flat front tyre perhaps. :lol:

I was at a petrol station today when a BMZ Z3 pulled up at the pump next to me. While filling up the guy says to me "Head gasket gone yet?'" I looked bewildered at him and then said "no mate runs great ".

"I had one of them (he said gesturing towards my MGF) head gasket went twice, cost me thousands ££££"

I said you should have fitted a multilayer gasket and a low coolant warning kit first time - ;) problem solved.

"Anyway the amount that (I said gesturing towards his Z3) has depreciated in value in a year you could have got yourself a very nice TF and enjoyed not having to pay £350 a month on the instalments for that :P

He turned away at this point and finished refuelling in silence, thankfully. :lol:
