On the way home from work tonight I felt like the car was losing power about 1km from home and noticed a tappety sound at low RPM coming from the engine, as I pulled in the driveway the car didn't want to idle.
It was already dark so I came in and had dinner and a shower then decided to have a second look before bed.
I tried to start the car but had no response from the engine no matter how much choke or pedal pushes I gave it so I am thinking now it is a blown head gasket?
I will look into the engine bay when I have some spare time but not for a couple of days so have your say and try to guess whats wrong!

I actually didn't get a chance to look at it as I was starving and had a baby to bath before my dinner!

Pull the plugs out and crank it over, Get someone to watch too see it it shoots water out the plug holes. If it still wont crank over try to do it by hand to make sure the starter hasent packed it in. If that dont work dump your oil into a clean container and inspect what comes out. Seriously though I reccon its a broken FREPPS
