Right had a couple of people tell me it could just be shit in the radiator or water pipes ectt.. Car runs fine, doesn't overheat. Only problem is the what only can be described as chocolate moose in the water bottle. Can anyone confirm that it most probably is head gasket? Or had any experience with a problem like this? Engine is 1.3 Gt btw

Give it a good flush out and see what happens.

Does sound like you could have oil in there though

Take the bottom hose off the rad and and stick a hose pipe in the header tank for 10-15 mins.

Re-fit hose and top up with coolant and run engine, hopefully that should clear your choc mouse problem, as others have said sounds like rad weld etc has been used.
