Silver mk1 possible breaking as previous owner didn’t have antifreeze in engine I didn’t realise and started it to warm it up it got warm pretty quick I shut it of straight away but was bubbling so not sure what damage is done yet till it gets a bit warmer and defrosts lol
Ouch! If it’s knackered I might need a few pieces mate
Id be interested
It’s suppose to be warmer over the weekend so will try starting it I’m pretty sure something happened to water pump as it started making noises then went away but still ran perfect part from overheating so didn’t jump timing I think the impeller got ripped apart

So started her up today and didn’t overheat but coolant is spitting out of filler neck took of thermostat and opens and closes as it should so I’m assuming head problems
