Hi Jamesmartin, could you explain more what you mean by "slackening one in turn with engine running|" you mean take one off with engine running ?

Ok , yes I ve seen some diesel compression tester for around £30 might get myself one anyway. Will do that, I will bring him the car beginning of this week and let you know the result , but then if it is a cracked head and I get one then the labour cost wouldn't change isn't it ? As when you...

"you get a nice shinny new top for your engine, small bonus." s*** a £1000 shiny head haha. Is it possible to skimmed it with sand paper ? I have done that on head and cylinder of a 50cc (advice from my father in law) and god that worked well ! Does it sound like a good idea for you guys if I ...

Alright , I guess it is a no, i am doing everything on the road ( I have nice neighbours lol) i have a fair bit of tools as I am a carpenter and bought quite a bit of tools that is specific to mechanics. Time would be a week end. The mechanic I've seen told me it would be around £600/700 if it...

hello guys , again thanks a lot for your time, so , - no mayonnaise nowhere but looks like the water level dropped . - can't see anything that would look like water on the oil dipstick, just plain deep black oil. - what is dripping from everywhere is definitely not oil as it is really "liquid"...

Hi guys, Turboman , I actually thought it could be coolant but it is hard to make the difference with so much s*** coming out at the same time , I thought it smells like diesel but hard to say ... What do you mean by bottom liner ? Bottom end ? I think like you say I might just stop everything...

About the injectors , I just had a quick look and is it just about checking them with a multimeter or is there more to it ? Because if that is the case I don't even have to go anywhere I could do it myself ?

Great , will try all that , do you think it is worth getting myself a compression tester and check it as well ? That sounds like something i can do :) even if it doesn't sort out the problem at least it will take off some possibilities. Thanks !

Hi Flossie , thanks for your input , would that fail out of the blue without warning ? As before I couldn't start the car was driving fine. I will look online for a diesel specialist around me . I guess they will need the whole car and not just the injector isn't it ?

But the thing is , everything I hear sounds way over my capabilities/knowledge and so many possibilities that I feel like I will have to get a real mechanic to look at it and never went to one (apart from a wheel bearing that i couldn't take out) and don't trust them to be honest ... plus the...

that is exactly what I am scared of after a lot of reading ...

Haha ok , i thought it was something like that but didn't see anything , I will check it tomorrow . I bought the workshop manual and spend my time reading about it since I have it but I have got a lot to learn! so what am I looking for in the intercooler pipe ? and what would it means ? thanks...
