Hello,
Well most of you know I've just completed my 200TDi conversion and I'm really impressed. It's always made a bit of a hissing noise under load though, so I swapped the copper washers on all four injectors today and it was still there. Turns out the head gasket is blowing right at the back!
Bugger! Well I'm whipping the head off tomorrow and a company is collecting it, skimming it and brining it back later that day, or early morning the following day for £27. I've already got my elring (OEM) head gasket and manifold gasket at the ready. Just my luck! Got to drive from Leeds to Ipswich on Friday too. At least I can see whether my bores have still got the cross hatching marks and I suppose I know its good for another hundred thousand if not more
.
Do I really need to skim the head just out of interest, or will a bit of emory cloth in the effected area do the job?
Good old land rovers!
