| Here's a question for ya's. My gemini is sounding a bit rough and muching through petrol like a V8 i've checked the carburettor and no problems there. There's bubbles in the radiator but my car isn't using excessive amounts of water so i'm assuming it's not a blown head gasket. Anyone know this problem ? |

| The only other option is somebody has installed an aquarium bubbler pump setup in your radiator... do you hear a constant humming noise even when the car is switched off? Then no, I am going to stick with the headgasket, do a compression test and there is a fair chance one or more cylinders will be down, and even if it/they is/are down only a little, headgaskets aren't famous for getting better... |
