[hi,can any body help???my 2000 frontera is having a major problem>>>>>>>started loosing a lot of water(internaly,i think,so thought head gasket).anyway started to run like a bag of poo,engine managment stayed on.left rad cap off after filling system.soon as i started it it chucked out water out top of rad but ran okish.replaced cap and ran like poo again and stalled.my question is .....are all these problems due to head gasket or something as easy as a blockage or faulty water pump???
