Gentlemen& ladies,
Having a few problems with my T reg disco 1 300 tdi. After doing a little research on the "tinternet" I think I may need to change my cylinder head gasket. As this is my only car I need to get it right first time . I have a good array of tools and I am not afraid of getting my hands dirty , however , I have a couple of questions .
1. Is it a job I can attempt myself .
2. How long should it take .
3. ( the important one ) there seems to be a couple of thicknesses/types of gasket . How do I know which one to order before I start ? As I mentioned this is my only car and want it to be off the road for the shortest time possible . I want to order gasket before I start , not split the engine then have to order part if at all possible .
The car still runs ok apart from the " standard" smoke and having to fill coolent up every couple of days( about 2/3 pints each time ) .
Any advice or tips would be VERY welcome
Thank-you in advance
