OK, my story is this - I have the thing 2 days, travel about 200k's and it starts to make gurgling sounds that seem to come from just behind the dash every time I accelerate. When I turned off the car, boiled water (no coolant in this baby) filled the reservoir.

Ever the optimist, I booked it into Natrad to get the radiator serviced and after I parted with my $300 they told me that they had trouble getting the air out of the system and it probably had a blown head gasket. Thanks Natrad.

Does it sound like it's blown? It still idles perfectly and the temp gauge isn't going through the roof.

I'm a mechanical novice, so the advice/assistance of any seasoned campaigners would be most welcome.

I'll get a few quotes on what a workshop would charge tomorrow. Any recommendations on who I should call?
