    there is something wrong with my car and i just cant seem to figure it out. loss of coolant and overheating but if i loosen the expansion tank cap slightly then it doesnt overheat. it seems like when i tighten the cap then it overheats and that big pipe gets really solid like its over pressure and when the pipe is soft, it doesnt feel like theres any water either.

      I would put money on a head gasket blown, there is a small chance of a hairline crack in the block but most likely head gasket!!

      i am guessing it would be an expensive repair?

       

      i was thinking about coolant sealant as a last resort.

      Sealant is a waste of time and money if its a gasket, the only way is to do it properly soz.

      Again, +1 @m4inbrain

       

      Do you really need a huge boot?

       

      If not, consider a Mercs C class petrol (2004 - 2007) where they were galvanised after 2003 IIRC and less prone to rust...They just go on forever as long as the basics are seen to. Sometimes E classes will come up at similar prices to C classes. My neighbour has a E class wagon (diesel) I know he's selling for around £1800,  having taken it out on a drive on some twisty turny roads, I was surprised at how well it handled and it's smooth power delivery and ability to slide (remapped diesel torque monster, huehuehue)

       

      I clearly still get animated over 1:1 cars 😉 

       

      Dude the world is your oyster, just saw:

      got 1500 budget

      wanting over 100 hp, mine was only 70 and wasnt that powerful

      bit bigger than the skoda fabia

       

      You can find some really nice and interesting cars at that price point and spec lol.

      Just one example, not personally recommending this car, but to give you an idea:

      V70s and S40s are cheap as chips, definitely within the budget you stated, even good ones. 3 series, at least good ones, might be a bit harder in that kind of budget, but doable. 

       

      Good luck either way, the one upside is that you'll get your car quickly - we're 5 months into the wait, and are potentially looking at another 12. 😭
