Right oh!

After much cursing swearing, scraped knuckles and roping in a mechanically minded friend - sorted.

Was the HBV valve, £28 from the stealers. Took a bit of time, cos the engine bay is jam packed with engine, and my god you need lil tiny fingers sometimes to work round it.

Not completely DIY but sort of :)

Thanks all for the tips!

Hi im new, been wandering around sites looking for answers to a similar problem.

I have mayo, oh so much mayo the inside of the filler neck it looks like a jar of it.

However there is none on the dipstick ?

My emissions seem steamy and the running is rough when the car first starts or at low revs.

Could the latter be due to blocked pipes because of the former or is it a head gasket?

Matt.
If you have no oil in the coolant, and you do a lot of short journeys, that is fine :)

Water is a by product of combustion, so condensation from engine is normal, esp if cold...
