well did the head gasket wid a mate, went fine. Few problems tho, the oil pressure light is on, it went off for a bit, then i took it out, half way thru it came back on, so i crawled home. Its got plenty of oil tho which i dont get :S The engine is also tapping quite a lot, but it was before so dunno about that. Also did the cam belt, which we found had been 1 tooth out since i had it, so corrected it, but now it almost stalls as i start accelerating. Also couldn't undo the plug on the gearbox to put more oil in it as it was just too tight.

Not sure what to do, could throw it at the garage but scared of a big bill lol. Any ideas?

Thanks

Jack

the tapping could be something to do with oil. have you got enough in? have you put too much in lol?? its your tappets wich normally tick when you run out of oil. thats all i know m8.
