possible blown Head Gasket

Right, left her into Toyota this morning and they just phoned me:

(1) There's no water getting to the engine (temperature guage always reads normal though), however this rings true with grey coolant, previous owner mixing red and blue has resulted in sludge which is probably blocking it,

(2) Rocker Gasket and seals need replacing (however we already knew this),

(3) All the plug leads need replacing as they are all different.

"and few other wee things" which is how he phrased it. So they are keeping her overnight to work on her tomorrow.

This is going to cost me a pretty packet but I'm glad to give her the allover that she badly needs.
