Default A death in the family...

Sadly, my 1.8 turbo has suffered a head gasket failure - coolant spraying out from behind the exhaust manifold. Having pumped tons of cash into it lately, I was a little shaky about letting it go but this is not the first gasket failure it's had and a sweet 190 from up north pursuaded me that it was time. Heart broken.
