Been told that there is a bottle of stuff on the market that I can just put in my coolant to fix a leaking cylinder head ( Not sure what it's called, but it's 30 quid a bottle)
I'm not a mechanic and don't have the tools to strip her down myself or I'd fix it properly.

Can anyone confirm if it's worth doing this repair please, I'm about to buy it in the next 30 minutes

Thanks

I know there is one called steel seal and another called k-seal, we sell a lot of k-seal in work for leak repairs on trucks seems to work well, but never used it personally

If it's a small leak I'd be tempted to just leave it & top up every now & again. If it's a proper leak then you'll need a proper repair.

Yep, she's a proper leak, you pour in she empties.

thanks, Al.

If that's the case then no amount of K-Seal will do any good. Not looking good I'm afraid.

Where does it empty?
On the floor or into the engine?

It leaks straight on to the ground. I bought a bottle of steel seal, but at the rate it flows out I'll probably need to strip her Down.

I would be serching for a used engine.
Then you can get this leaker fixed.

Sell the other and get your money back.
The engine has to come out anyway

Thanks Kevrev, I'm now looking for a newish engine that I can fit myself without too much technical fcukaboutery.

I like that

You can get quite a lot of that with engine mismanagement systems
