Any Mechanics Around Glasgow Area?

[momo88]

As title, is there anyone in the Glasgow area that could do a headgasket repair on my is200?

-My temp gauge has shot up a few times.

-Not really noticed any loss of coolant. although under the expansion cap there is a lot of rusty residue.

-No mayo gunk stuff underneath my oil cap.

-Low oil pressure light comes on when starting the car from cold, but disappears when temp reaches normal.

I took it to a garage on monday, thinking it was a dodgy switch or something that activates the fan as when the temp goes over normal the fan does not kick in. Although pressing A/C button turns it on. They told me they did a pressure test on it and they believe its 100% the head gasket.

Was hoping someone on here would be able to help me out with a decent price and hopefuly trustworthy!

Thanks in advance

wel the times it has overheated ive driven about 30miles on motorway. Then hit city centre traffic.

Why would it be the oil? But yes the temp outside has been very cold, but not always.

use the search mate

if you are overheating and the fans arent keeping the temp down use the heater at full heat high fan to keep your cars temp to within safe levels as an emergency measure

hi first when you check the water level do you check the rad or expansion tank level you need to check both if they are both full then the problem could be else where take car to a garage that can do a sniff test this will tell you if the head gasket is gone or not as it will read if any gases are getting into the cooling system if you have rust in your rad this means you have no or little antifreeze in the system and the engine block is starting to rust inside does your engine still over heat if you leave your a/c on hope this helps a little cheers tony
