The saga continues.
The head is to come off and be rejiggerypokeried in a couple of weeks, until then she must sit alone and cold in the garage. Meanwhile Vilmos drinks happily in the warmth.

Still a Vauxhall I hear.

This is my little tourer not the family car. The zafira is long dead.

So you gave up on Vauxhall then.
And still you blew the head. Is it a Renault or Peugeot then?

Blown head gasket? I recall an episode of the Professionals where Brody cut up some old lino to replace the head gasket: why don't you try that?

Yeah! That should lower the compression ratio to where it will run on Tea, never mind four star!

I remember back in the dim & distant past that I had a Hillman Imp that blew head gaskets regularly - a problem for which they were well - and deservedly - renowned.
On one of the many blown head gasket occasions, it being a Saturday and out of reach of a suitable replacement, the blown gasket was replaced with Cornflake packets, using the dead gasket as a template, combined with copious amounts of Hermetite Red.
It lasted for 2 weeks, which was about on a par with the more conventional head gaskets I'd used...
Those were the days

I'd forgotten about Red Hermetite. I have had a few Honda motorcycles held together with that stuff in the past!
