Mayo with that ?

[boogie]

I have just found I have mayo in the lid :evilmad:
I think it could be HGF, It is still running but i'm not taking it far until I can get hold of my mech.
Does anyone know how much it could cost ?????

Please block your ears while I scream AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

PS It has done 61000 so it aint done bad

[Dom]

around £400 if it is HGF. However, check the sump. It could well just be condensation from short journeys...

[Gene Hunt]

If it has gone try & get the up-rated landrover one.

If it has gone try & get the up-rated landrover one.

And the better oil ladder they do too!

Hope its not the dreaded mate :cry:

[boogie]

Just had the mech round and he has confirmed it's the begining of HGF :ohmy:

It will be going into the workshop on monday for a week where he will strip it down and send the head away for pressure testing and he will fit a new triple layer head gasget.
all for around £450. The nice thing is, is that he was a Lotus engineer and he loves the car so much so he wanted to buy it

[Gene Hunt]

Get the water pump changed as well mate.

[Adam]

Not a bad price, but as the reaper said i'd get the water pump and belts all done too while its apart.

The water pump was new last year so does it still have to be done but he said that he is going to change the cam belt as a matter of course

[Adam]

I'd say water pump would be ok then being only a year old. Glad your getting the belts done though matey.

[Gene Hunt]

...........as above the water pump should be fine.

[boogie]

If the worst comes to the worst how easy is it to get a new engine ???:w00t:

[Adam]

Not that hard, a few places have them.

[boogie]

Still noy heard from my mech so i'm thinking no news is good news ......ye:(

[Gene Hunt]

Would the ZR 160 unit go straight in ?.

[Adam]

Would the ZR 160 unit go straight in ?.

Yep, although you'd need the 160 ecu too.

[boogie]

The car returned today fixed and running :yoji: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
I think I have the clap (oops sorry)
All fixed all for just under £500 I just have to run it in for 500 miles then take it back and he will tighten everything and retune it Hurrah !!!!!

[Adam]

Good news mate! Hope it doesn't give you any more probs :D

[Bakez]
