#1: Overheating. Author: Danny., Location: PeterboroughPosted: Fri Jan 14, 2011 9:28 am ---- My car is majorly overheating it will go for 0 - 110 in about 15 minutes...
Which is really bad...
I have noticed there is oil dripping out the bottom and under teh oil cap is a very very very thin layer of mayonaisey stuff.
Could these all be linked?
Does it need a new Head gasket..
How hard is it to replace the head gasket?

it can be done relatively easily if you are quite mechanically minded/have experience with working on cars
if not its a £400 garage job
