ok managed to get the car home after leaving it for about 7 hours.... whats happened is the headgasket is fubarred and the pressure was building up in the water pipes and expanding those :? was then overheating and missing like hell, and when i turned the engine off and tried to start it again after a bit the oil had set and seized the engine lmao! managed to drive it home slowly. time for a new headgasket me thinks, will do it 2mora

prolly warped the head driving it home like that tbh so the head will need to be skimmed
