Lol, I meant the Disco forum. I like the idea of one now, if all I have to do is Check For Rust, then I can just about manage that.

Bloody hell!

You lot know everything, thanks. Will try the other forum.

Sweet, it is the 300! What should I be looking at with it(slowly, using short words!)?

I need something massive so I can tow. My heart is breaking at the thought of a Trooper or a Shogun.

Ten points! I'm in Edinburgh, so am out of reach for most of you masculine car-stroking types.

Me again :-) You were all right, it's Dead. I managed to get most of my ££ back though (thank God). So back on the car hunt. Am possibly going to see a 1997 Disco Tdi over the weekend, am I insane?

Only in exchange for fixing the car mate. And I could be a total growler.

I wish it was as easy as that!

He is a she and I bought it from a garage :p Had a look and the water I put in to get me home has vanished, oil looks OK though. Will let you know what happens with it, hopefully get it looked at tomorrow.

Have just read the warranty, it excludes pretty much everything that could ever go wrong with a car!

Yeah, that's why I wasn't up for paying for the warranty! Well you guys have cheered me up if nothing else. If I go now and have a look to see the results of the drive home; no water = much wailing and gnashing of teeth water = rejoicing?

I've had it for about two months, I'll need to check how long I'm covered for. 'Cos of the age/model of it I said to the guy that if anything went wrong with it I would be camping on his doorstep until it was fixed, so he chucked in the warranty for free.

I'm concerned because the garage I bought it from made a great big faff about getting it pressure tested before I bought it. So presumably I'm going to get the 'it was fine when you bought it' response. They saw me coming I suspects. :doh:

I'm in Edinburgh. It's under some kind of warranty, I'll need to see what's covered. And I'm not upset now, the first glass of vino has been poured!

Yup, that's going to have to be the Plan. I really Love that car as well, was convinced I have a good 'un. I was working on the basis that if it had survived this long, it must bloomin' work!

I appreciate you all taking the time to help, honestly. I kind of suspected this could be what it was, as I have read about the problems in this very forum. As soon as the temp flew up i was going 'Ohhhh noooooooooooo'. And crossing fingers. Having said that, there's other things it could be...

Gav, you ray of sunshine you! Wouldn't it sound like a bag of spanners?

I checked oil when I topped up the water, all there, and no white gunge. Am glad I'm providing a laugh, hoping that racks up karma points for me (hopefully in the form of winning lottery tickets).

This is more like what I was wanting to hear :D
