sounds like head gasket to me and a bill for minimum Ԛ£500 to get fixed unless you know someone.
Options depend on overall condition of car. Break it or sell it, dont scrap it if it boils down to it.

you say dont scrap it ye? but hting about it - at least 500 quid to fix? an that sif the cracking hanst completely fucket your head AND your bored, becuase water is not good on the bored at all especially if you leave it sitting tehre even for small amouts of time
also, a tec one silver could break for nearly 1500 anyway probably more, add this to the 500 quid that it would have cost you to fix an youv got yoruself a another sport probably inbetter condition?
jstu my way of thinking, probbaly converted a bit by too much time reading jonB and pacers threads, btu they make sense!

This car has taken up so much of my time .
I really dont want to give up on it.
This weekend i will go and have a look at her.
Take out all the carpets and side skirts to see how far gone she is
in to the world of rust

my m8t had a rust hole in his passengerside footwell about the size of a 5p and it was a failure. dont no if it would be a failure if it was just rusty.
