I have a problem with antifreeze misting into one of the cylinders. The garage told me that both heads would need to be replaced. What steps could I take or some tips do you have regarding driving my car.
should I drive it and what damage would it do if i continue to drive the car

Hi there,

you will slowly develop coolant loss ands over hating problems, if left it will eventually develop into a serious blown head gasket or cracked head, the longer you leave it the more expensive it will be to repair, do not try magic instant fix in bottle as these will only cause more problems.
