Head gasket problems - Sell or sort? My diesel engine was making a noise like a sewing machine and would not beat 40mph without warning lights on, shortly after the head gasket was replaced. My mechanic has cleared the 'limp home' and claims that the noise has gone away now. I mentioned to him that the thermostat seems to be playing up which I appreciate, might be the underlying cause or a symptom of the HGF equally. He wants to keep it for a few more days due to workload (again). Generally, do cars recover fully from HGF or does it make a problem car? I want to be able to drive my Alfa normally to work and at times enjoy the car without worrying that it'll go pop
