I have a 2007 Fiat Bravo 1.4 T-Jet 150bhp with 40000 on the clock.
Serviced regularly never overheated.
A few weeks ago I went to start it but it just turned over with out starting.
Tried again and started ok. This happened a few times over a couple of weeks then started to idle roughly. Plugged in my code reader and got cylinder 4 misfire error.
Bought and fitted a new set of the Fiat recommended NGK IKR9F8 spark plugs.
No change in the idle and now started with white smoke from the exhaust and a small amount of mayo on the inside of the oil cap.
I would like to know is this all pointing to a head gasket failure or could it be caused by something else?
Are there any recommended mechanics in the Warrington Cheshire area?
Has anyone attempted this job before and how easy is it? I have changed head gaskets before on MX5s and a mk2 golf.
