yep broken  wire on it

seems promising its running fine  or seems to me cant drive to throttle body's get here temp is spot on at 95 when up to temp no water lose  it for an half an our or so
oil seems fine

no sign of oil in water from what i can see

only thing that is worrying me is i wiped the usual manaze out of filler  cap before running as i like a clean engine and was cleaning up after work

it but was a fare bit back in there later after running at stand still for a while wiped rune again same again but bit less

but everything else seems fine apart from that it possible that that was vapor from all the leaks and it boiling when pump failed clearing it self out
but  does seem a bit odd to me

i am kind of wishing i changed oil cooler while it was in bit
as i got one in cupboard

but i does seem to be running to well for head gasket
just wishing i knew for shaw
any ideas guys

well i remembered to re join breakdown insurance no for got and to pay for two from harlow to luton

just seemed a bit more than normal but fingers crossed if it starting to go on head

i will  k-seal it and see what i can get on a trade in
to a deserving stealer if i do ill im thinking about a rover 75 cdti

im hoping to keep it for now fingers crossed

if it ok some time this year im due some case form a insurance pay out

and was thinking may be a s class diesel  few about under 60k for under 5grand
any one got any diy experience on em

where the bridge from egr to plenum the asked it shot and fell to pieces when removed but it seem to idel ok just put back with out gasket for now

but would that effect anything was thing of just sticking a banking plate

Bmw engine in the 75 diesel

[Marks DTM Calib]

Yep, not to many issues with the CDTi in the 75.

The 75 is a bit of a dissapointment for what is supposed to be a large exec car though.

[elitedave]

omega seem fine now so keeping that for now really attached to it lol

if i  do change later it will be a S class diesel   merc with about 40-50 on clock if i can stomach the insurance lol

75 was only option if omega was shot for a bit due to cash at the moment and i much prefer  rear wheel drive
