Re: What should I do with my car?
I know it sounds silly but selling a 1.6 auto which struggles for 30mpg might save you some money in the long run?

Re: What should I do with my car?
I can't be 100% sure but your car doesn't sound like its head gaskets gone , the gunk on the cap is more likely to be a blocked breather at the rear of the cam box causing moisture (very common) and the throttle to start when warm is probably your cam sensor , I would spend the hour and the 30 quid on bits for the astra before giving it away .
