« on: 01 November 2010, 19:53:52 »

Quick hijack of this thread been offered a 2.2 with blown head gasket. 81K  is the water pump a likely cause? do the heads warp easily or is it a case of just a new gasket, pump and a good flush?

Did they fit the correct clutch plate? if they fitted a 2.5 plate it might be slipping in your engine. I had a brand new 2.5 plate slipping on my cd so changed it to a 3l plate no further problems.

Had a problem with a v6 a few years back, had no power to pump at fuse but power out of relay so in frustration I linked a supply to pump fuse to start and move the car, after starting removed link and car continued to run had no problem after.
