Check the oil level before you attempt start it, also check to see if the sump plug has been touched recently.

The nobber didn’t even look at it.. It wouldn't start, it wasn't seized at all. Said it wasn't worth spending the money on..
Bollox to that, I'll have a go myself in slow time..
I can't make it any worse can I :lol:

Why did the garage accept a booking to replace a head gasket, if they couldn't be bothered to do it.

WTF?!

Well my better half and I have had a long chat, and the final decision is...

To strip and scrap it... :(
...

Then buy another!!! :D

So I'll be paying very close attention to the cars for sale thread for a nice tidy 4th Gen...
If anyone hears of a good one up for grabs, can you let me know?
Cheers
Doug
