so having had the head presure tested and is ok what is the likely hood that this is the problem and how can i tell find out for sertan that it is that, is there anything else that it could be or have i got a scappy on my hands

hi had compresion test done and that came back as good so cant be head gasket is a liner thing a big problem i know less that zero about cars so will need it to be fixed at a garage or some thing is this going to cost me mega money to sort out (what is a liner?)

hi sorry just edited my reply to say had done both of them and all was ok lol only loses coolant when running about 2 ltres a week

hi do have loss of coolant my hoses do stiffen up but i would not say they were rock hard far from it it never over heats and runs fine other than my mpg has dropped to about 6mpg (dont know if mpg is related or a seperate problem ) i did put some K-seal in to try and stop leek but it still leeks had head presure tested they said it was fine so cant be head gaskit prob also had water pump replaced but cant find sorse of leek even tried using a dye in the coolant but still sign where water going regards simon

NO THERE IS NO SMELL OFF EXHAUST GAS REGARDS SIMON

not sue if it smoke or steam but some time it does and sometime it does not its very intermitant regards simon

I am not sure what problem is i have a water leek somewhere it only loses water when i am driving it took it 2 a garage who had it for 2 weeks they could not find the leak they put some kinda dye in water ans sent me home 2 return in weeks time plan was they would find the leek through the dye but still can not find it so they said it must be going inturnally so they did a head test and said no heads where fine so put some leek stop in and sent me home again but hay still got bloody leek some one else had look and said water pump was buggered so have just had that done yesterday and some one said try k-seal i had not heard of it so thought i would find out. regards simon

hi is k-seal any good if not what is best regards simon

For example, head gaskets, cam, full rebuild... hi its done 140,000 miles dont now what it has done to engine i have not had anything done but not had it long. my millage should not be a problem being so big or will it i dont have a clue i drive um thats about the total of my knowlage of cars regards simon
