Oil leak? is it causing a problem or just an inconvenience from dropping oil? More likely to be rocker cover gasket especially if its a 300TDi. I just had my head gasket done by a local independent for £167 + VAT

Holdsworth has gone bust. One of his mechanics (dark haired guy with goatee) has set up on his own over the road and seems to be OK.

You can do it yourself but I found the torque/ angular gauge settings a bit difficult.

Alright, no need to rub it in. I had a go didn't I?. The instructions in the Haynes book must have been wrong!

I thought you'd be pleased. The other geezer seems OK no probs so far and reasonable prices.
