1.6.
I know, it's hardly a difficult one to get wrong. Either it is reading positive on the sniffer or it isn't. I suspect one could be covering their backs in terms of the warranty and the other did a sniffer in about 30 minutes and got it back to me... Hardly in-depth! Ergo the desire for a third opinion. Infrared thermometer as in one of these? No but could definitely get one. What for?
No, although we have had coolant pressure problems for awhile.
A lot of mechanics don't seem to want to work on old cars like this.
Thanks, as always, for any help!

Hola,
Interesting that two garages gave two different results.
Is it the 1.6 or the 1.8? Have you got access to a ifrared thermometer? Any idea what caused the headgasket to fail initially?
