I have a blown head gaskate, so before i start the car i checked the water in the redaitor and added some water and when it came to starting the car it didnt start!!
does anybody know why?
could it be the spark plugs?

You have a blown headgasket currently? Shouldn't you fix that before you go trying to start the car?

But if you have a blown headgasket that water will probably last like 10mins lol. And then KABOOM!

ok this what happens when you have a blown gasket the watter leakks out, the compression is not where it suppose to be to have proper spark and sometme the oil and water mix and shooted up to the to plugs and covers them with sludge and sometimes when it over heats to much it melts all kinds of plastic things like sensors so i wouldnt know i would invest in changing th gasket before even starting it

well maybe it was not blown because the michanic didnt open the head but he just said that its your headgasket !!
and the water used to last for 15-20 mins or so !!

I took it to another mechanic today and after checking the battery and the fues box we discovered that there is water under the head because if you remove the readaitors cap and start the car the water comes out of the redaitor (jumps out of the redaitor) !!
