I have been having rough idle problems for a while now, as posted in another thread, I have replaced the coil pack, ht leads, spark plugs, fuel filter and the injector rail with injectors & fuel regulator from a low mileage car sorced from Ian G. The car does have a water leak around the thermostat housing, that I intend to fix tomorrow, and is always full of air locks. There is no sign of any water in the oil either on the dipstick or on the filler cap.
I have noticed that when the car is ticking over roughly if I release the pressure from the water system by slightly undoing the filler cap tickover returns to normal, as smooth as any other puma.
Is this a sign that the head gasket is on its way out?
Engine is 1.7 with 145k on the clock & its a 52 plate.
