Oil In Coolant, Mayo in Oil.

Overheated today on a 5 mile trip. No heat from fans. Opened the bonnet and found the old mayo in the oil dipstick and oil in the coolant. Bought for £500 in October. Going to scrap the f*cking shed. And so my brief flirtation with French cars comes to an end and I finally realise why everyone told me to avoid them

I was uneducated!
Seriously though, the MOT is due in a few weeks and the tax has run out. Any idea what it's worth, if anything?

1.8 is XU. They only did the TU up to 1.6.

You must be doing something wrong to blow a headgasket on a 1.8, they very rarely break at all! (Unlike TU's lol)
