Hey David

I am no mechanic but I would check if there are any bubbles coming up in the radiator while the motor is hot and running. If there are any then there is a possibility of the beginnings of a blown head gasket.

I know that removing the plugs can be a real challenge but you should check if there is any moisture inside the cylinders. Leave the car to cool (maybe overnight friday) and try to see if there is any condensation on the plug electrodes. Sadly this too can be an indication of gasket problems or worse - a cracked head. This was the case for my daughter's Sirion. But at least it has only 3 cylinders. Please dont tell anyone about the Sirion I have allowed in my yard. YUK
