Hi all does anyone know how expensive it is to repair the head as I've done an initial test and it has suggested my gasket is leaking a little.

If it's in the early stages I'd get some steelseal really good stuff worked in every car I've had even when it was missing on 2 cyclinder it's about 34 quid but I think it's cheaper on eBay just make sure you get the steelseal it's a green liquid not the other cheaper stuff it never works all you do is put it in the water and run it

I've tested it as I'm loosing a little water and I put a tester with a chemical in the expansion tank and the chemical want from blue to green. I was told it's the gasses that react with the chemical. I'm hoping it's a slight leak but can't really tell other than adding a little water every 3 days or do back in the expansion tank.

I'd put that in works for me everytime and I work at a garage doing a lot of traders cars who don't want to spend 350 gerrin the head done

So is it a liquid that finds holes then?

Yep read up about it here's the link http://www.steelseal.co.uk if you search it on eBay it's about 25 quid

Ok thx for your help.

So - typical trader's bodge to try and keep it going until it's out of warranty? We'll know who to steer clear of then.

Traders always do it it's a cheap fix and last a very long time I tried it in my girlfriends Clio and it's still running 4 years later
