stupid suggestion.

if you are losing coolant ever thought it's coming out the exhaust pipes?

Blown head gasket might be driveable but will still deplete your coolant. CHeck your oil and see if theres any grey spots in it.

You'll know fast enough.

Lots of white smoke but not necessarily.

i don't mind LPG on modified cars, I do remember a nice little turbo sigma in hot/fast 4's i think it was, on LPG, decent numbers and good emissions.
... still it was a sigma.

marcs, did you attend a few car cruises/public shows with that gemmy? and how long ago did you sell it. I used to do photography for events and i SWEAR ive seen your gemmy once or twice, usually with a gemmy club.
edit: I just noticed your in QLD... so thats a no. I still swear ive seen it with that plate though.
