advice needed on M12 upgrades
Discussion
Hi everyone i am now a noble M12 owner but have only had the car a week and its off the road. it started with a coolant leak, i prob should have stopped using it straight away. But decided to use it a couple times untill a local gararge could free up space on their ramp. so i topped up the water and kept an eye on the temp gauge and seemed ok. But on saturday took the car slowly round the block after washing and when trying to park it stalled and took alot to get it going again. So i took a look around and noticed that there was water in the oil. So now im think im needing a new head gasket. But im woundering if the car not starting could be the ecu or fuel pump ? does anyone know the symtoms of these problems.
Also before when looking up nobles on the net i found a link to somewhere that listed all noble parts, prices and where to source them, but can i find it now! can anyone point me in the right direction please

1) you say leak, where was it leaking from
2) when you say took a lot to get it going what do you mean? was it turning over and not firing or was it not even turning over.
strange how you mention this after saying you washed it, do you think you might have got a bit over enthusiastic with the hosepipe in the engine compartment or around it?
when the car was left to dry out did it begin to start again normally?

well it was turning over but not firing up. And i dont think that i had soaked the electcics because i use a bucket and sponge with not too much water. the fault seems to be intermitiant. and coolant leak im not sure where its coming from as the engine chassy around the engine bay is dry. i guess its some pipes going to the rad.
