What are the 2 steel mesh bags with small metal balls in them in my petrol tank??? any idea?? zinc anode?? should they be there along with the bits of rust, 2 screws and a 8mm nut???

To prove that it is head gasket/cracked cylinder head you can buy a chemical test kit to check for CO (carbon monoxide)in the coolant system when the engine is running. You do this by drawing air from the expansion tank through the tester. It will change colour to tell you what chemicals/gases are i...

I used red acrylic fleece that i got from a fabric shop. Use industrial spray glue from homebase. The fabric is slightly strechy and insulating. I lined around the windows and cards, so easey and looks cool (smells like a new bus). They had loads of colours.........£8.99 per kg. Cost me about £65 fo...

Could try some heat on the hub (nut?) with a blow lamp or shocking them with a copper hammer. Bad language or try charming them off could help.................

NOT FOR A TURBO! CHECK WITH MANUAL OR MOTORFACTORS FOR OIL GRADE......

Go to a motor factors and get the sump plug seal and the correct oil for the engine type (probably 15w40 mineral). I would advise changing the oil filter as well. Next get a large container that will fit under the engine and will hold more than 5ltr of oil!! If you get down and look under the engine...

Yer man. I agree with the above, no problems mixing, coolant is mostly just a inhibitor........good luck with the loss of water dude
