Sorry I actually posted a message
On a seperate thread! I mentioned that the car now after a pleasant week would not start once key in, initially dead, no electrics , nothing.
The key itself is very damaged so i have ordered new casing and batteries. The readings now are engine disabled place key in ignition so I will go through the process to eliminate! . Also irdered nee battery for car.
You got it right with the piggy bank!

She has her moments! Still having slight issue after replacing ALL coolant pipes and thermostat... working on it...also clacking when warm... tried rislone which temporarily helped... other than that I get compliments every time I take her out.

sniff test is cheap and easy. Turns a different colour if exhaust gasses are present in the water system. Is a good indicator on how to proceed

Not sure I understand without shoving my nose to the exhaust! What would be best option! And is this the overheating? Or the clacking? Thanks

Sniff test is a kit off stuff yo put in the coolant and it turns a different colour if there is exhaust gases present indicating head gasket failure

i meant if you thought your noise/coolant issue is liner related a ‘sniff test’ would be useful. Not saying that’s what it is but every 4.6 owner must have it on their mind at some point.
Sniff test is just a term for the product. It tells you if combustion gasses are present in the coolant for example with a blowing head gasket or slipped liners
