For the sake of the 3hr journey get it onto a truck and take it back to Regals mate, im sure they will sort you out.

As Burt says get it straight back to then don't sound like you had a great regal experience .

Agree with the above, your only solution is to get it back to Regal and let them sort it out for you.

serious note get it trailered back to them and charge them for the costs, cant believe you spent all that and they have not called you back!
surely they should have gice it a good run before releasing the car mate?

Nice list of mods mate same as me except the rebuild

I'd be suprised if the exhaust gasket was missing.... Also when you did the head gasket did you use new head bolts etc?

Since the rebuild did you actually run the car in?

steve you told me you found a split in the plastic stat housing that you could not find last week,and you were going to change it yourself,also mate hitting temps of 130 degs because of water loss will not help your head gasket.
mate get it back down if you need it looked at, also you told me you are still driving it,so drive it down.
