How much labor does it take to fit a ball joint? theyre charging over £300 to fit this and I believe the part is £15-30?

Yes mate, see attached on edited post.

Left car into LR today, they performed a visual survey on car and reported in the attached. Regards to the "milky" coolant, they said they did not see this and that the temps were fine which I already knew. If oil was getting into the coolant from cylinders and or head gasket, would a...

17 Litres? I understand this is a full replacement. I was charged £16 for 2 litres of G30

Full Service £700

Yes just acquired this. I had a TD6 and well to say that is a different cattle of fish is no understatement, far easier engine to work with. The coolant looked 98% milky with odd spots of light brown/pinkish. The coolant flush/change is £210 inclusive so not sure how much coolant they...

Checked the oil cap and its browny, like poorly maintained just. Strange I was hearing odd dial up tones from above air filter?

That is what it was before I put new stuff in. Will LR diagnose the colour or simply do as I ask and change the coolant?

I checked oil dip stick last week and it was black, so not milky there which is common for head gasket?

I know but what could it be?

If its oil, what could happen and how to fix? I am getting a flush/replacement tomorrow I guess this will make the coolant whatever colour its meant to be.

I tried the test antifreeze thing, I followed instructions and no readings appeared. What I can see is that when exposed with a torch the liquid is milky with tints of light pink/brown. I am booked into LR tomorrow for a flush and change, can you shed light on what the colour means?

Ok guys, bought an anti-freeze tester from Eurocar parts. My question is this, if empty of coolant, will the tester pick up a trace and if so will it state what chemical is found further indicating the type previously used? I know understand G48 (Blue) to be the most common used in...

When you see a poorly designed drain cover and slow down to 1MPH instead of taking it on

Can you link me to a decent one? Cant see any that would be long enough to draw fluid into.

Thanks, I might consider this but it says to put car on a lift? Can I drain some without putting car on a ramp/lift?

Regards to frying the engine, my temps are in the center of the gauge after 15 minutes and remain so. Is this a normal temp? If I mixed coolants, how soon could things begin to corrode etc?

This is the thing I bought fluid from halfrauds and when I checked the gauge, there appears to be no coolant and only water that remains. I have no idea what fluid may currently exist or had been there and dont want to risk mixing. As said below, I have not got the golden balls to DIY it >...

I need STC50519 power steering fluid. Is it ok to top up PSF as opposed to flush and replacing it? Meanwhile Ive been quoted £150 inc labour to flush and replace coolant, is this steep considering they are claiming car needs 13 Ltrs?

cheers very informative guys
