Heater O rings odd one!

Before I got the engine sorted (head gaskets, but only water to air!) it leaked from the heater o rings.
Now, it doesn't at all, not even a drop. The mechanic who did the gaskets etc reckons they may have
reseated after being disturbed by me dropping a damper on the pipes in the engine bay & then moved by him
doing the heads???

Anyway, I'll be shagged daft if I'm ripping the car apart until they leak again! There are loads more
jobs to do first now!!

Did 500 miles to London & back today & it didn't use a drop of water & it was very warm (22deg) in London
in standing traffic for ages. I got home & didn't feel like I had spent 10 hours driving in one day -
surely the sign of a great car!

Yup. I always reckoned that 500 miles in a P38 was like 50 in any other
car.

And 500 yards in the Series 2.

"500 yards in the Series 2". LOL I always said thats why Rangies had such a
following , even queueing in traffic was not half so tedious in a V8. I was
a bugger for blipping the throttle to make her rock. Sitting in a mobile
gentlemans club in a leather armchair soothed by prog rock with the aircon
set to pleasant while the rest are frying in tin boxes listening to Chris
Moyles takes an awful lot of beating . I am getting a similar warm feeling
for the Disco even without the creature comforts.

You must be joking, 22 deg warm? It is mid winter, well near enough ,
and we regularly top 22 daytime temps. I think getting towards 40 is
very warm.

This must be why we seem to have more issues with TDi's than seems to
be the case elsewhere.
