  1. Thanks! Yeah could have been 10 times worse haha! Ach I'd rather get the job done properly and in good time, they have to flush out the whole coolant system and radiator, plus I'm working over this weekend and next week so wouldn't have the chance to do it.
  2. It was found to be the oil cooler, cars in the garage now and won't get it back til next Thursday! Gonna be so lost without haha! And got quoted 300+ for new one and labour, could be worse!! Glad it wasn't the head gasket!
  3. Gonna drop it off at a garage on Monday and leave it with them, as I'm on nightshift for 5 nights, wouldn't be able to get near it! Hope it's not the head gasket or I may burst into tears haha! Have the clutch to do as well ahhhh. Any other time if the year I wouldn't have minded as much, but not coming up to chrimbo! :(
  4. It's ever since I had it in a garage to get a few things done, maybe he tampered with it so he can get more money out of me haha! And that was only about 2 weeks ago. Sounds like a pain if it is that by the oil filter as there's so much stuff in the way of it! And hope it's not the head gasket! Got the blowers on full heat. Only travelling 6 miles to work and back, got tomorrow to go then off til Monday night, will look into it then.
  5. Hey everyone, I've noticed the last couple of days that my expansion tank has been getting quite full, and also my oil has been running low.... Only tonight I've got eh chance to look into it and opened the cap and brown sludge spewed out of it, the oil is getting into the coolant.... But the temperature gauge on the car is staying at 90 and the car runs fine!! What could it be?? Help!!
  6. might be a vacuum leak somewhere in the pipe work?
  7. Yeah will do man, thanks for he heads up!
  8. Would need to get that heat wrapped though aye?
  9. Completely forgot to check on there haha!
  10. Afternoon ladies and gents, Just got a phone call from a garage that I'd dropped my car off to, and he said he found the problem with my loud manifold, it's got a crack on the bottom and the top of it :( And also he was going to replace he fuel filter for me and it looks like it's been tampered with and he couldn't do it! So has anybody got a spare manifold I could buy off? And how would I go about the fuel filter? Thanks
