Put the head on the disco today and new head gasket, i also got new head bolts from britpart as i didnt want to re use the old ones. AS i was tightening the first bolt to the required 30NM the bolt sheared before i even reached 30NM:eek:. Will have to wait till tomorrow to lift head back off and see if i can remove the bolt, anyone any experiences of this happening to them? If so i would appreciate any advice, thanks

Ray.
 
I'll see tomorrow i suppose, would the head bolts from famous four be of good quality? im throwing all the britparts in the bin.
 
When I did my HG on my 200tdi disco I got the head bolts from rimmer bros. Think I paid about £30-40 but no problems.

It's not a 5 minute job changing HG so I don't see the point on penny pinching !

I always check what parts I buy. The shop I buy most of my part's from select part's from britpart but not many, cos most are ****. Don't put them in the bin, get your money back.
