    Disco 1 Liquid steel

    I have noticed I am losing a bit of water. Not into the oil and the system is no pressured. I think maybe slight leak from head gasket. Was considering using liquid steel to see if it fixes it. Anyone used the stuff dies it work as described.

    Disco 1 Steel seal head gasket repair

    Has anyone used this stuff. I have a 300 which on a 250 mile drive has lost 1/4 of the header tank a little white smoke on star up. No water in the oil. Thought might be worth a punt rather than 300+ for head gasket.

    Noise from rear sway/springs

    The last couple of months I have noticed a creaking noise from the rear of my 300. If I rock the car it creaks both up if lifted and down if pushed. Sounds like a spring creaking. The drop links look ok. Any ideas where to start.

    Tale of two thermostats

    Had this with mine a few weeks ago. I fixed by getting some rad cleaning stuff from Halfrauds the strong 2 part stuff. Drain rad and put first part in. Run for a hour or so whilst driving then drain. It is amazing the amount of crap that comes out. Then what I think is the more important bit...
