On my way home from work yesterday the engine sounded a bit rickety (1999 T reg SX), and on my way to the supermarket it was rather hot and the oil light was on. I topped up the coolant, which solved the temperature problem, but the oil light stayed on. Left it to settle in the car park, but on the way home I thought it was going to splutter out and die, and I was experiencing power loss.
It has been quite thirsty on the coolant recently, and my oil level is fine (still on max). It does NOT like going uphill and seems like its firing, a problem I thought I'd solved when I replaced the spark plugs last week.
The head gaskets were supposedly done three months ago (previous owner), but could this be the problem? Other things that were said to have been done have not.
