A L 3 X Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Mine was the same mate? What issue you got now?Mine still makes the pipes harder but not rock solid like they were and the bottom pipe now warms up, nick and mike said mine was just going between the waterway and cylinder Quote
Glanza AuA Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 ^^ mine also doing this just hard hose,everything else seems normal Quote
akyakapotter Posted March 5, 2013 Author Posted March 5, 2013 Hoses go very hard mate not easy to squeeze no over heating ect so id say hg I will be putting the best bits money can by on it just have to wait a while so may not be making japfest in it yet Quote
A L 3 X Posted March 5, 2013 Posted March 5, 2013 Mine can be squeezed but not like amazingly easy mate? May be normal as like I say my head gaskets done now and still does it, was harder before though Quote
akyakapotter Posted March 5, 2013 Author Posted March 5, 2013 Hmm I'm not sure it should be that hard need another starbo to compair it to Quote
akyakapotter Posted March 5, 2013 Author Posted March 5, 2013 Can squeeze it with my hand has a little play but not much at all to be honest. see the results of this sniff test tomorrow to see its fate lol Quote
akyakapotter Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 It's bad news guys went and got it sniff tested today and the liquid turned Yellow so head gasket has gone cars going to be off the road for a few months now maybe more as I have £0 to fix it. Quote
Glanza AuA Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 ahh sry to hear that mate well at least you know now what the problem is should give your mind a rest,hope you fix it soon Quote
akyakapotter Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 Won't be fixed for at least 3/4 months Quote
TrisK Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Stop being a fanny. Its £100 quid for a heagasket and £30 quid for head bolts You can sell Tara for atleast £150, and still have £20 left for some fuel! Quote
