Exactly, and unfortunately I have come across such Mechanics. Thanks Old Salt, I am going to take the car to a new mechanic on Tuesday now and see what he finds out. But like I said earlier there was a brush of oil on the engine cover and also below, and hence might be a head gasket issue. Any...

Mate I am here to get answer to my query/issue rather than argue on something that is not necessary, if you are not aware of the issue then fine. Every mechanic might not have an answer to all the issues and this is one of them. I have also checked with couple other mechanics on this issue and...

Thanks, yes it straight away goes to overheat warning with very rough sounding engine and the engine turns off within few seconds. I have left the car in a local garage and waiting for it to be looked at. In the meantime would like to know what could be the potential reason for this and how much...
