That sounds like something I'll do as well in that case.

That's it mate yes

The drop in mpg could have something to do with it, i'm not clued up on the pd lump so hopefully someone could shed further light on that for you Whats it like starting from cold, is it lumpy or anything? The venting from the expansion tank could mean a number of things ranging from a leak to head g...

Cheers fella I'l let you know how I get on

I doubt mine is a crack/leak in the head. Im losing to much water for it to be the water pump plus I cant find where the water is going tbh. Im totally puzzled. How are you driving it at the moment, are you booting it or just steady normal driving? Have you checked the corners of the rad? its commo...

i've told the mrs if we need an mpv, we'll both have to have cars and take half each funniest thing is she thinks i'm joking. not even a zafira jessy could tempt me into mpv-dom. the recaros are nice, but its a vauxhall. I couldn't knowingly buy one after my mates 60 plate 17k miler meriva master c...

Pulled off the pipe and blocked it off b4 reconecting it and really chuffed i did the car takes around 2/3 miles longer to warm up now but im defo getting at LEAST 2mpg more than with it functioning! ive had it done for around a mth now and tend to drive the same routes weekly and my mpg is now up ...

Best I managed was 62 and that was driving like a complete fairy, so would be interested in banking it off

It is a good comprimise if you don't like mpv's (which I don't, well maybe the Zafira GSI )

Some Laguna estate (older shape) had them, as with some mercs and Volvos

same here, does not show pics

I suppose it can be done, although at the end of the day its a crumple zone although look at the rear seats in the likes of the Zafira :0 I had a 406 family, which had the fairly rare 2 extra rear facing seats in the boot, clever design as they folded into the floor and even had a door handle on the...

As above, I would check the suspension etc is in good order, ive read a few posts on the rears leaking on here Make sure its cambelt and waterpump have been done, or are in the history of being done, if not factor that into your budget Take it out for a good test drive and check it boosts well all t...

Cool, let me know and I'l defo have one

Good luck with the search mate, that certainly looks a nice saloon You've certainly had a few Rovers, I do like the ZR & ZS (in standard form) however always put off by the alarming rate the go through head gaskets, especially the 1.4 and 1.8's I did spend a time a while back looking for a good ...

swap went smooth as a babys bottom, good communication from him, always kept in touch letting me know what was happening and a top fella

Well recomended, cheers mate

Theres an overflow vent at the bottom of the expansion tank, if you feel or look at the bottom of the tank you will see a little tube it took me ages to fathom out where I was loosing it as sitting at idle it would'nt lose a drop, yet go for a spirited run and again the level would be on minimum I r...

It would if you select the corect value for the maf and do a diagnostic run to compare the requested and the actual values

This is how I discovered my maf was duff, However it never actually threw up a fault for it

Have you checked to see if it's venting out the bottom of the coolant tank when the engines under load If there's coolant stainege under it or all the subframe is wet after a drive then they'res your answer If you check my posts I'm having similar issues, not to the extent of yours though by the sou...

What happened to the head again mate, as on your first page you had the head all done with a new headgasket
