ermm.. the head gasket went on my last car too..

because it had no water..

Top tip

Do not lend Claire your car.

You bought a ROVER ??????????

That´s a dog of a car

But if it´s f#cd think of the money you´ll save.....

Good luck!

you have to keep the water and oil up Claire make a certain day of the week your checking day thats what I do. I always check on a Monday.

hahaha.. oh sure.. I'll just do that later today while I nip out for a loaf of bread.. I'm sure I have a spare £5000 ($10000) in my back pocket.

Not familiar with the deep red models.



The smaller displacement engines don't actually hold much oil or coolant, so letting them drop even small amounts can be a death knell for them.
Surprised that it's losing oil or coolant in the first place being only 6 years old.
What have you done to it?

It could be anything and not even related to the low fluid levels at all. Something as simple as a throttle position sensor could do it and it's a cheap fix.
Could be your car hates you for neglecting it and is teaching you a lesson.

hahaha.. It's been a brilliant little car.. it goes like a rocket.. vereeeee nippy for all these twisty turny Cornish road.

Ohh well, if its red.... you're knackered, I'd say!!

The suggestions of possibly transmission fluid or fuel pump sound quite likely to me.

And I should know.... I am a regular watcher of Top Gear, doncha know..

I know.. I did learn my lesson from the last time.. but over time I kinda forgot..

Its been 4-6wks since I last put any in I think.. (sept for the other day)..

I was wondering it it's just something like a grubby carb? ...

AND! it's very foggy here today... maybe its the damp?


::: starts to pray to the great god Rover:::

hahahah!

(I love Top Gear- what a job!)

Mine stopped doing that when I changed the carb.

yeah because tranny fluid is deep red......so check that first

Oo ::fingers crosses then:::

I'm laughing.. but I'm vereeee worried about it really.


I was going to use the polite UK expression.. of 'Shitting a brick'..

but that's not very nice.. so I won't.

Probably like me claire expensed u just dont need.

expenses that is

No carb on your car. It's fuel injected.

Only the deep green ones had carbs.

Could be a barometric pressure sensor. All those little sensors feed a signal to the computer telling it what's going on, then the computer adjusts spark, fuel accordingly. All it takes is one of those sensors to fail and it will effect everything else. There is a failsafe mode that will allow you to drive it but performance will be effected.

Or! Could be your car hates you for neglecting it and is teaching you a lesson.
