Hi guys

Sadly that does sound terminal. If your temp gauge is unmodded, going beyond the 11 o'clock position is too late.

Sounds like it'll need a new head but you could just be lucky.

You've not had it long, was it from a dealer and was there any warranty with it, implied or otherwise?

Whatever you do, get it to someone who knows what they're doing, Bongo-wise
