Hmm doesn't sound too bad, obv loosing a lot of coolant though and its overheating like buggery! Whats the 'trueness' of the head mean? Thanks.

gonna have to save some dosh and get it done then :( How long will it last? Will it suddenly just blow or :S whats gonna happen?

And me in the valver with the dodgy power steering and the headgasket going :(

Coolant bubbling and exhaust fumes feel bit damp... bugger. :( How much for headgasket change?

I had my tracking done when I replaced the tyres about a month ago, mine were properly seized but the guy just got the welder out heated it up then the other guy quickly started undoing it with a spanner took about 60s...

Im in Bristol so you guys aren't too far I don't think? How much would I be looking at for a check on the head gasket? Don't mind travelling a bit more distance so I can be sure whats wrong with it!

Harsh mate least they are paying! but so far the guy would have been knocked out and beaten with a baseball bat, then he would have been run over by his own bike which would have been cut up then wrapped around his neck while having his toes burned, before he was set on by a 11st maniac then...

Took the thermostat out a lil while ago and cleaned it so I think its working, fan seems to be ok does cut in a little late though? Engine has lots of coolant stains due to previous leaks so can't really tell but I'll check for new ones, as for radiator bleed errr i snapped off the screw a...

Id hazard a guess that maybe the new one will compress to the right size once its on, and the old one has been on so long maybe its stuck or something :s

Ideally should leave it in gear with handbrake off 2 prevent rear discs seizing! After only couple of weeks you should be fine though.

I seem to remember Oilman discussing cheaper oils before, and the fact that some fully-synthetic aren't true fully-synt etc. general concensus was, you get what you pay for.

Garage must be tards? If they are seized just get the welder on there and do it, they should know that :S

Lol easy my ass, if u have a ramp maybe eas*ier*, exhaust gets in the way like a b**ch, ideally ud have to take it off to get moderately gd access, bolts can be a b**ch 2 get out as not really enough space to get a ratchet in there, plus when the bolts are out the mount didn't drop straight out...

Thing is i flushed it not so long ago :S and its over-heating loads and im loosing coolant like a b**ch!

Hmm it gets worse, loosing coolant plus I looked earlier seems to be some sort of white foam in the expansion tank? No mayo in caps or dipstick etc what could this be?

I had the motor out earlier along with the glass, wasn't that hard, most annoying part was getting the sodding clip off the bit that holds the glass in !

No mayo in the cap at all, or in the dipstick, can;t see any visible leaks its not dripping or leaving a puddle, and no lose in performance! Whats going on?? Seem to be loosing lots of coolant, engine runs v hot but no idea where it's going! Aux belt needs replacing obv this drives water...

wtf.

Yeah sounds like it, what can i do with it??

Yeah its a bit of a strange system though I dont know how to describe it... like a metal tube with a pipe cleaner type thing running through it, top face of the pipe is cut off and part of the window is connected to the pipe-cleaner bit through the cut off section. The pipe-cleaner bit is then...

Yeah your defo right, but after taking the mechanism out, im not sure how I'd go about cleaning it?

Can't change the motors would need a whole new assembly, motor sounds ok really just need to know if the system can be cleaned out or how I'd lube it up lol

Took apart the mechanism earlier, put some WD40 and bit of grease into the tube? part... seems to have made it slower though :( Any tips on how I can speed it up, going down its fine, back up it takes aggggggggggges

Its French, bet you its seized ;)

Anyone know who's this is? Left me absolutely standing near the m32 last night, looked like I wasn't even moving! Def a turbo must have been pushing serious bhp never been whooped that badly before lol

Depends how much they weigh etc, if you package them together as one package it'll be 'cheaper' but you'll still be looking at £60+

as above ^

Imitation cable definately makes it a lot heavier, had same problem on my old RT, fitted a genuine Renault cable, much lighter!

Sure its mounted properly?

No one use DC++?? or similar...
