Ok so I apologise advance for the rant you're about to read lol
I have a 1.4 306, bought in March this year for £650 absolutely no problems with it whatsoever it's currently on 93,000 miles. Drive it 4/5 miles yesterday and the temperature suddenly shot into the red and light came on to stop the engine. Stopped in halfords car park the bloke in halfords put antifreeze in for me car then seemed fine again. Drove about 17 miles into oxford and suddenly car started juddering. Let it cool down and then got a further 6/7 miles before the car started juddering again, let it cool down again then finally got the last 7 miles to the garage. I find out this afternoon from the mechanic that the head gasket has blown and he's quoted me £400 minimum for the work to be done..!! This is third car in a year..!! Is it worth fixing..?? I've got no idea what to do with it and any input would be appreciated.
Again sorry for the long story lol
Also mechanic has mentioned there's a problem with one of the injectors too
