    Quick electrical question

    I would personally use the correct rated RCD and make a small box out of it, that way if something does go wrong its a quick flip. You can then use a bus bar to distribute the power between them. It is a more expensive route to go down but is imo a cleaner look

    300tdi Possible head gasket?

    I Can't see any obvious leaks around the P, it all looks pretty dry around there, Changing the head gasket doesn't look like it would be the most complex of jobs, but I am a bit worried of what I will find underneath, cracked or warped head in particular.

    300tdi Possible head gasket?
