I thought I'd picked up a bargin and after 2 weeks of running, its far more understandable now.
I've found the typical symptoms, mayo on the dipstick, loss of coolant with no obvious leaks/drips.:cus:
Can anyone tell me how much I'm expecting to fork out for a HG replacement and fitting? You know what sparkies are like, "oh its gonna cost you"
I'd love to do it myself but don't have the time, space, tools or money at the mo.
To make things worse, I'm gonna drive back to Wales from Essex to see the folks at Xmas. Well that WAS the plan.
It doesn't seem too bad at the mo and the car is still running smoothly (apart from a bit of kangaroo juice at low rpm), so I was wondering if a dose of k seal would do the trick until I can get the money together after xmas?
What does everyone think? Brave or stupid?
:dunno:
Also, if anyone is living in the Colchester area and has the facilities to do the work, I'm sure I can come to some agreement.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
