is there a specific name for the metal pipe that the coolant runs through that is attached to the inlet manifold, its just i have a spare but dont know what to call it.:doh:

As above, i used a tesco clubcard and an old gift card i hadn't thrown away.

I dont know if the reply worked, if not will post again.

Have taken off for some welding of the sills, dont want to put them back on so they are free to whoever can pick up from Swansea.

Removed the fugly xs stickers of the bottom of the doors.

Do you still want these, i have sent an email, i need to know as i have someone else interested.

You have mail......... I have posted a pic for you to see the indicators. The passenger side looks odd as i had one of those plastic clip on guards on which i have taken off.

I wasnt looking for any money but actually a good set of original orange ones in exchange as the clear ones i have are used. If someone could offer the indicators and maybe a sparewheel cover then thats different.

Any Swansea(south wales within 15 miles) members looking to swap their amber indicators for my clear ones, i had them with the car but i am not fussed on them. They are used but still plenty of life left in them, on offer are the 2 front and the 2 side repeaters.

I saw a perfect condition 97plate 300tdi when i was looking for mine, it was a an import from japan. Absolutely mint with low mileage, hence the 5 grand asking price. Was actually challenged by the dealer that if he gave me a hammer and i could break any of the subframe then i could have it for...

Spent at least every day and most of yesterday spraying all bolts in readiness for today. Attempted to do job in my dinner hour, started at 12 midday, had everything under control then sods law as i was informed the top mount snapped. After a lot of ****s i took the works van to my local...

Are they a simple diy job for an amateur or do i need to take it to a garage. Basically my bushes are pretty much perished, but after an inspection today the shocks look pretty fooked as well. I look at it as putting it on stands and undoing the bolts and a straight swap, is it that easy.

I priced up a few units when i was putting my after market head unit in, the ones that work with steering controls are twice the price of a standard head unit plus the cost of a harness from the steering controls to the headunit i couldnt be arsed. I havent got the steering controls but more the...

Thats what mine is doing at the moment, r reg with 165k on the clock. At the monment the guy looking at mine is certain its the head but wont know until it is stripped, take the oil cap off and see if any steam is coming out as that is what i get. Saying that though the steam has stopped...

The heating and coolant problem is fixed, its just that all the overheating has ****ed the gasket up, its blowing coolant out of the exhaust system and i am losing water, there are no drips from anywhere in the engine so it has to be through the head.

Well i had it confirmed today by 2 different garages, head gasket on its way out, both quoted around the 600 mark. Does that sound about right, the first was from Swanseavale 4x4 and the second and the one i may go with was Autec. I was informed that the guys from Autec are the best in swansea...

Fitted new brake and clutch rubbers. I am such a big spender.

I must have done something right this morning as it is now pumping out lots of hot air, i gave it some high rev welly earlier and the temp gauge is rock solid on the one third mark. :clap2:

Got it up to temp this morning on way to work, left engine running and checked coolant level, that was bang on. Did the cardboard test, no drips. Undid the bleed screw, the coolant bubled up nicely. Checked the pipes going into the matrix, they were cold and empty. I presume there is a...

Clutching at straws and in a vain attempt at being positive i was told the water pump was changed before i bought it. Hopefully they did it wrong at fooked the p gasket.
