    gearbox question

    Well nothing is impossible, but they do mount differently. I would be speaking to Ascroft Transmissions for advice T

    Frozen Handbrake?

    Blow torch on the drum would have worked. But strip down is best as there will probably be grit in there as well Dziękują proszę T

    Thermostat or water pump????

    Water temp sensor is on the coolant elbow on the right hand side of the cylinder head (as view from front of vehicle) where it goes into the top hose T

    It will tell you whether it is wheel/tyre related or brake related T

    Thermostat or water pump????

    If you remove bleed screw on tickover then expect jet of water to be about 5-6" high. Then rev it and it should hit the underside of the bonnet if waterpump is OK Below 1500rpm the bypass valve in the thermostat forces coolant through the heater matrix only, but above this (and when up to...

    The cost of anti-freeze

    Not as bad as it sounds - It was picking it up off the draglink from the leaking PAS box :) TONY

    Best Price on New TD5 Cylinder Head (10P)?

    I have decided it has to be new as I am planning on keeping her for a while and need reliability for towing. Cheers for the thought though TONY

    Will it or won't it ?

    You usually have to buy the switch & relays. Only the wiring is normally there already. T

    The cost of anti-freeze

    I did that, but every time there was an oily film on the top so I did not risk re-using it even after filtering it through a micro-fibre cloth :eek: TONY

    The cost of anti-freeze

    The cost of anti-freeze

    I blag trade price at Andrew Page's for 5 litres of pink OAT for £11.75 so not too bad, but still not cheap. Have been through about 25 litres this year so far :( TONY

    redex engine flush?

    It's a personal thing, and budget does play a part, but I never use non-genuine filters where liquids are concerned. Remember that your rotor filter spins at 15000 rpm. Would you trust Britpart with such a critical component? Maybe, but I won't risk it. I may consider one of their air...
