In addition to Druim's useful How To, I just thought I'd post this guide I did a while back, since I only have it in my Dropbox as a pdf until now and I don't want to lose it. (May have to upload in separate entries as there are 22 pics). Cheers, Stu

Why? Quite possibly a mechanical reincarnation of the Rolex sporting shell suited owner. I've said it before and I'll say it again; all we can do is sit back and revel in the majesty of a terrible thing done well :D:D;)

Like I said before, have been in your shoes, got the heads done and was still having overheating, eventually traced to cracked block. But it was sorted and has given no trouble in five years. But i had the benefit of a warranty fix. Hope they come back with better news.

Did you notice if the top rad hose was hard during overheat?

I was in your shoes some years ago and went with the AA recovery, anything else might do more damage. AA guy should advise if it's something more simple, good luck.

If it spins round to the front when reverse is selected, count me in. :cool:

Datatek may be a better source for the EAS diagnostic cable. BTW, welcome to adventure playground for mental people. ;)

Nice. Just down the road from me. Wonder if she'll let me have two P38's? :rolleyes:

Sledgehammer. Not the Peter Gabriel one. We're err not being very helpful are we :D

The idea is to take it in for a re-gas and if it leaks on vacuum or fill they remove any gas and don't charge, probably no issue with 3 as long as you don't take them all on the same day :D;)

Quick Fit or similar outfit will check for leaks for free.

Mate at work got Audi Q5 two weeks ago, 55k on clock. Gearbox failed last week. Audi told him it would have been 10 GRAND to fix if hadn't been for warranty. Frightening :eek:

Not wanting to cause unnecessary worry but when I had occasional symptoms of overheat (needle would suddenly fly straight to red), especially under load (uphill on motorway) it was eventually diagnosed as cracked block; the crack would periodically open up when stressed. :( That was 5 years ago...

Sorry to hear that. Might there be somewhere local that can do a quick check for exhaust gasses in the coolant?

You could add that one to your signature block Tony. :D;):rolleyes:

Thanks, proper fix now done. Although will be having a word of warning with Island about the Hella condenser mounting point, have found other old threads with the same issue :D

Finally got brain in gear, removed lower mounting bolt below pipe connections, lifted that end on condenser half an inch, the pipe connection then screwed in with fingers. Before final tightening, tweaked lower pipe to give max clearance, then tightened up. Dropped the condenser into correct...
