Stanced XUD Estate (IT'S ALIVEEEEahahaha)

Just uploading pics at the minute. Looks to me like it's blowing between 1&2 and 3&4 going by the carbon deposits on the gasket, my thinking is that it's blowing exhaust gas straight into the coolant channels causing it to blow out of the expansion tank.









Second opinion would be nice though

Also, one 83*C thermostat refusing to open at 100*C. No wonder Gav said it always ran hot, bloody thing doesn't open! New thermostat fitted as that was my first hope but didn't cure anything, needed replaced anyway by the looks of things!
