  1. Thanks James for your case study. I am considering using a seal product just to chance some success. I got it a year ago and it has cost me 2500. Will be gutted. Oh well. You win some and you lose some. If it does die, I will be looking to strip it as much as poss including the 18" alloys with brand new tyres. Wish the mechanic had picked this up before charging me 500 for new radiator and waterpump. Heard great thing about the Auris hybrid. Sounds like you got a good car. Wishing you all the best with it.
  2. Thank you all guys. Yes it's sounding more and more like the dreaded news... The head gasket. Wish the mechanic had picked this up before unnecessarily changing out all the bits. The car is running great right now but I suspect it will start becoming problematic. I have to work out what to do now. I will certainly not be selling it on for someone else to deal with the headache. Not sure how long it may go if I run it to the ground. Quite disheartening as it suited me fine doing 30 miles a day.
  3. Hi guys, I am new to this site. I have an is220d 2008 with 138k miles that has had a new radiator, waterpump, radiator cap, and drive belt 2 weeks ago. There was no issue with the car other than coolant was being sprayed over the engine bay after driving resulting in loss of coolant in the expansion tank. No overheating or poor running of the car. In fact it drives great. However, after all the work done above, it is still doing the same. Can anyone help me? Have already spent £500 on this issue.
