how long ago did you have the head gasket changed?
can you smell any fuel through the expansion tank with cap off?any creamy sludge under oil cap?

Problem solved now

I took it to a garage and he suggested changing water pump and thermo and said it would cost a lot. So i decided, even though i have minimal car experience, to do it myself,,,so i downloaded all the workshop manuals and 16 hours later all done and dusted. ive got all the cuts to prove it..
total cost 25 quid
