    If its creamy and mixed with the oil, its the headgasket. If its just black oil, it the rocker cover gasket.

    Sorry Rednut. I only have one cable that has been crushed!

    I`d take it to another rego station and hope they dont check the handbrake.

    back in action!! man, what a poo of a fortnight!

    anyways, all goods have come from it (except for the bill but it was alot less than I thought)

    New muffler has made the car go better, feels like more compression when accelerating. (still needs a bit more work apparently) $220 (was taken to some exhaust specialist)

    Head gasket has been cleaned up and reseated (could only be a temp fix, will keep an eye on it)

    New handbrake cable installed $86
    second new handbrake cable coming from Spain within 3 weeks $86

    The mechanic was quiet good I thought, rang me alot to advise of a problem but wouldnt do anything unless i ok'd it.

    Including labour and pink slip plus the installation of the new cable once it arrives it cost about $680 which was half of what i was expecting.
