So, i went to start the car last night. It compressed once then sounded like it lost pressure when cranking. Oh fun...Went to a friend to borrow a compression tester and sure enough, 30 psi on cyl 1, nothing on cyl 2. By this point i was getting very wet in the rain in my drive and decided to call it a day and reluctantly borrow a Nissan =[
I am thinking possible head gasket, but i am just hoping its nothing more serious than that. Dont get me wrong, the car is worth spending the money on to get it right but i just dont want to break the bank repairing it. Good thing is i can do it myself i suppose so i will save some money on the labour costs =/ Its just gonna be a case of fitting it in between other jobs. Wont get started till moday now anyway, or even picked up and taken to work =[
I was looking forward to my first proper drive out in it today. Ive had it 6 weeks and not really been anywhere. Oh well, ill have to find other means of getting to Edinburgh. Something tells me im going in the Nissan =/ Better than the train, though
