could be - they do get air locks in the heater matrix sometimes cos of this.

any ideas how to make sure it is the gasket gone? any other symptoms to look 4? it is losing water surely but slowly :cry:

do you have white sludge in the oil cap?? that is a sure sign.. sounds like it anyway as it is using water.. mine did that.. slurping sort of bubbling sound inside the car another sign.. lots of steam from exhaust... down on power although mine got faster before it really let go!! deffo sounds like it!!
