Hang on guys, I can provide some assistance on this one.... When i was 5 years old I had a Tonka Dumper Truck which i used to sit on the rear of and ride down the drive at my parents house (no seat - i just sat in the dumper part of the rear). Until one day I lost control of it going down the driveway and crashed. I really hurt my knee and required 5 stitches, my mother told me on the way to the hospital i might lose my leg. Afterwards i was reluctant to ride the Tonka Truck again.... however with a little persuasion I did indeed overcome my fears. I swear after the first accident it didn't feel right. So i decided not to play with it outside and only keep it inside as an ornament.

No experience with i10s, but i20s have been popular for us, and never had any mechanical problems with them. Granted, the ones we had all had low mileages. But they're generally cheap to run, and buyers seem to like them.

I often get service letters and emails about trade cars that I've bought. You'd think in these sophisticated CRM system times they would work out how to save the stamp money!

cant be much of an adrenaline junkie if you dont want to do it again.

YES LEARN HOW TO DRIVE

After reading the comments & the jobs you have had done Your water level soundn't keep on dropping, maybe after the first drive after having a water pump done but not after then If It is the headgaket has gone, it sounds like cylinders to water system, this will increase pressure in the water system & can make other water system parts fail due to over pressure. you won't get any mayonnaise, could get missing, might only leak at certain temps so could pass a compression test. If your not fully into mechanics, its similar what happens when you use a soda stream machine, the bottle being the water system & the gas being the pressure leaking from the cylinders. To start with the basics, run the engine for a few mins & check how hard the top hose is, drive for 5 mins & check it again, repeat, if the pipe gets rock hard, I would say its the headgasket. Then go to a garage & have a sniff test done(some liquid that changes colour with exahaust gases) cheap & easy test with no stripping down You might not know how to judge the hardness of the hose, if not try another car to compare In regards to having the water pump checked, if you have an external leak you won't get water system pressure & the top hose will be soft, not a bad thing as then it could just be a badly fitting pipe then etc. Thanks
