Oily coolant, water leaks, rough idle or hesitation when driving means HGF.

Bingo, the head gaskets are notorious on these things, its not if but when.

We've had the 214 with k series engine for over 4 years now and it's only let us down once when the dizzy contacts disintegrated! It's now on over 93k miles!

If you'd like the coil pack, I have one lying around which I can send over if you'd like.

Thanks, i'm going to get a compression test done on Wed and i'll see what that reveals, if i need a coil pack i'll let you know.
