My mates think the head has cracked. It has been playing up for a while and it started madly overheating the other night but I found I had no water in the radiator so filled it up and it was fine.
Then today I struggled to start it but got it running in the end, it went find through town but when I got onto the dual carriage way it started to tap like mad and I was losing power very quickly, chaning down gears and lots of smoke started pouring fromt he back and I came to a hault on the side of the slip road haha!

We put 5 litres of water into it at the side of the road and started the engine and it took about 30 seconds for it to all pour from the exhaust! We checked the oil and its a bit milky so I fear a cracked head!

Might not be a cracked head dude, could be the gasket.
But still 
Not a great place to break down either
