Have you got milky looking oil under the oil filler cap?
If you do take the head off I would check it for trueness with a steel rule before i bothered to get it shaved,dont waste your money if it isnt out of whack.

no i dont thats the thing its perfectly blacky normal!! :(
I duno wat is wrong, i have cheked thermostat not too good but i took it off to see if that would cool it down, and guess wat yup u guessed right its still friggen hot!
The only thing i can think of now is that my new (2nd hand) radiator is shaggeed or my cars filled up with alot of ####e..
and my superstsious thinking of a blown head gasket is no longer as the bubbles are just 'lil iddibiity ones that only happen when i crank her up from the hoses most likley...
I reallllllllllllly need some answers...
