Sounds like overload cutting it out???il check out some papets and respond on thursday evenin...doesnt sound like head gasket but it might be worth getting a gas in coolant test at a garage...about£35 unless u can blag them and wave the full head job under there nose so they feel sure its head fault then u say just to confirm before u do it...but be sure they show u the liquid in the test as its mixed and rested...if u r unfamiliar with this test its just a big suction tube with a test solution in it and they run the car and suck coolant from radiator/expansion tank and the two liquids mix and if engine gasses are present it turns blue or green...if it changes colour like that u need head doing.
