Burst a hose and the AA man (once the hose was patched) checked coolant pressure which was only reaching 5-6psi (what is normal running pressure?)and then the blue water check showed that somewhere inside there is a gases leak. I suspect this is the head gasket which has probably cooked (thanks to a slow reacting gauge - must get some decent dials!) but any advice from you Zed heads to pass onto the mechanic would be very much appreciated. Its a 1990 Jap import TT manual - please help me fix my baby!
