I Knew it was a ticking time bomb, could be anything dum dum that caused it to fail. I don't know much about these or the engines, but it could be due to what life its had before you got it. Wrong coolant use, water pump not working right.
What happened with the metro dum dum, who ever had the engine before me, had the head sorted out, but what they did, rather than drop the later head gasket on at the time, they just shoved the 1st generation one back on. Which would go again anyway. Why do people spend a few quid on sorting the head out but just skimp on the head gasket side. its beyond me.
At least its cheap to fix as you say and maybe easier, I am well close to 2k on mine, and the fucker still will not run right at all.
