right 200tdi in a series its blowing from the back of the head, so i need to do it obv, but i want to know if it will be ok to use to get to school this week ? .. will it damage it driving it ?

also wheres a good step by step guide to doing the head gasket and should i get it cracked +skimmed ?

i think the head has gone as i have to rev it quite high to go anywhere ? reckon this is why ?
 
there is plenty of detail if you use search!!!! using it with h/g gone aint going to do any good thats for sure , do you want to risk it ? I wouldn`t
 
not sure ? if its just gone prob get away with just h/g use it for a week practicly guaranteed to cost more to fix , as said youre call at end.
 
well i think its just gone, i didtn really pay attention to back of engine since iv fitted it,

do you reckon it was caused by me revving it to high ?
 
Common failure on 200tdi that the head gasket goes next to the bulkhead (no 4 cylinder) - usually makes a loud squeaking noise as the gasses are forced past the gasket.

As said above get it fixed before it cost a lot more!!!

Are you doing it yourself?
You might need to get the head skimmed and thicker gasket with new head bolts torqued in order and angle torqued too - as above "do a search" - loads of info on it ;)

ok cheers will look into it.. ill have to use it tomorrow .. then i guess ill divert to using a petrol series that iv got ... ffs ! fuel bill wont be fun
 
now when was the last time you went on a bus .... you can feck off doing that id have to listen to toher peoples hair dresser talk !
 
i run mine for 3 weeks with it blowing just toped up with oil its not a hard job to do ive never done one before me and my mate "nick2303" did it one saturday exhaust manifold off injectors off rocker cover off 18 head bolts give it a good clean job done
 
oh so as long as i keep checking oil should be ok the ! guess i shouldnt rev it to high ? ..

oh thats cool, son theres no timing involved ? thats the only bit i hate ,.. the bloody timing belt, so you dont have to touch it ?

My disco 1 blew in the same place towing back from North Wales, with my Ranger caravan on, it came back fine, but got very loud, when I did the head 2 days later a small groove was just starting in the aluminum head, along the blow hole line, do it as soon as possible to save a new head (£200 plus), when a skim will do at about (depends where you reside) £25.
