With the price of scrap the way it is about £200, double check the thermostat, I have never seen a head gasket fail on a V6 but I have seen lots of broken thermostats.

I've only had one, but heard of another. But My money is on the stat, like you Andy.

Chocolate and Teapot springs to mind (2 of my favourite things, however not in the same product)

It shouldn't have any effect on the starting, the water will be coming out of the thermostat housing or the pipework, its made of plastic and cracks over time, the trouble is it sits in the V of the engine and is difficult to see.
