Try Farnell or RS Components T

Well the fact that it clears is good - Mine didn't hence head gasket changed. I would change the thermostat and then bleed the system until you get hot air into the cabin through the heater whilst on tickover. This can take some time but stick with it!! T

Yes they do play up by virtue of their location and the crud that ensues. Give it a good clean with Brake Cleaner / Electrical Solvent Cleaner / Isopropyl Alcohol or WD40 and see how you go. Otherwise a new sedimentor is around £20 TONY

Look at the photo below. Do the bubbles look like this and is it constant? T

You can attempt to do the seals, but they are a PITA and there is no guarantee. If you are planning on keeping it for a while then changing it is the only real option. I got one from Paddocks, but there are others such as Adwest. I would avoid stop leak or adding brake fluid as this may stop...

Tax does not get silly until after mid-March 2006 T

Magnetic reach tool? Very long nosed pliers? or Head off T

Good man :) Price is both objective and subjective as long as you are :D then that's all that matters. I take it you are getting it fixed locally and he is picking up the bill? Make sure they use the correct 50:50 mix of OAT coolant T

I do love a happy ending and valuable lessons learned I am sure Well done :D:D T

If you buy a V8 with LPG on it make sure you do your homework thoroughly. Check the install, paperwork, installer, certification and the research the manufacturer. Unless it is a recent sequential multipoint system then walk away. A good install will give no trouble, but they do tend to need...

Well that bodes well for him getting it sorted. And just to reiterate - Do NOT put Bars or similar in the cooling system!!! Just wait until you get the rad sorted. T

Sure I read that timing chain was 'Visually Check For Wear & Loss of Tension at 150,000 miles' T

The sedimentor is a PITA - even when it looks OK. I put a new one on a couple of years ago T

£5K is mental for a 99 plate, but it's your money and all that. You should have stopped when the heater went cold and certainly when the temp guage went up - That's how head's get warped!! Do not put anything like Bars, Rad-Weld or K-Seal in your cooling system. It will **** your thermostat...

Firstly - Do not touch the accelerator when starting a TD5 When was the fuel filter last changed? Have you checked for a leak from the FPR block? Have you tested the battery (drop test)? Have you checked your earths are good? T

High Tensile M16 jobbies T

And as a guide salvage value is 15% of retail. If they put it down as a Cat. C you won't need a VIC check so long as you retain the log book. Any future owner will need to get a VIC done before DVLA will issue a new log book though T

Pretty sure there is a register running over on www.discovery2.co.uk unless I dreamt it T
