Would it not get me out of a hole for a couple of months Daboi or would i be just wasting money ?

McG any decent scrapyard will sell alloys in sets at good prices. Add Decent new rubber and you'll be laughin

Daithi Id be amazed if head gasket was cause. Get it checked and priced up and then decide.
If your looking to try it yourself, I wouldn't go with the stuff Daboi mentioned as althpugh it can work it can also do more harm than good, try Lucas Leak stop oil additive, less chance of complications and is nice and handy to use

Lucas stop oil leak has worked for me in the past, cheap and easy to use but follow the simple directions.

9F, the steering wheel begins to vibrate when I go to about 110/120 KPH.
Doesn't happen at slower speeds.
Any ideas?
Cheers.

It would usually unless there's another issue but I'm sure 9F will advise that first and then if it continues there's another issue. Just going from experience as opposed to mechanical wisdom

Had the same thing before, M50 100km the thing started to shake. Balancing the wheels did the trick, 5 Euro!
