    What tyres are best in snow.

    Another fan of BFG A/T's here as well. They have been on for 3 years and have given me no trouble either on tarmac or snow. They used to come with a 50K mile warranty and may still do T

    Quick Valuation !!

    £2300 with 76K on it. FSH and all invoices, MoT's, tax discs, 2 keys and so on. I did buy at a car auction though, but I do know a good 'un when I see one. This was in early 2008. It is an 'S' model with dealer fitted A/C which I love - No sunroofs, ACE or SLS to worry about :) T

    Fookin ell that's dear. I have had my TD5 for nearly 3 years and paid no where near his asking price :eek: T

    Donut/vibration woes

    Absolutely. The branded kit comes with new nuts/bolts. Dead easy to fit as long as you have a good pry bar T

    300tdi New Cylinder Head

    TOTAL MYSTERY Coolant Loss!!!!

    Get you cooling system pressure tested first. One thing's for sure - Its going somewhere and that ain't normal T

    hot air only at high revs

    Right we can eliminate that then. That is flow return so thats good. It should, so you have still got an air lock. TONY

    hot air only at high revs

    If heater not working at all and matrix is not blocked then it could be air. To flow test the rad you need to remove it from the car. Stand it on its end vertically and whilst covering the lower outlet with your hand fill the rad from the top inlet with water. Once full remove your hand and...

    Brown / red fluid - left front side of engine

    rear door stuck

  19. Hedgehog70

    hot air only at high revs

    Yes. Deffo do this along with the ones for the rad and top hose etc. Well you can't flush it too much :) especially if history is unknown and someone has added the Devil's Spawn (Radweld) into the mix. There are plenty of water channels, and the system is around 13 litres from empty...
