Well, going to see one tomorrow. 1.6MJ SR, 42k on a 12 plate, private sale.

Thanks Nev Previous owner had the timing belt and water pump done maybe couple months ago [have the receipts] However I have seen old fluid re-used in the past. Also dont think Ive ever seen expansion so thick of rust/sediment. Pretty sure a good top down flush thru wasn't undertaken. Sadly these days strict maintenance schedules aren't thought of until your sat waiting for the AA truck to arrive. I'll check on the forum you suggest. BTW..I reconnected egr this morn..intermittently still showing code for short on solenoid [ valve is fine, as mentioned thoroughly checked] Cant seem to source a stand alone solenoid....They must be out there as a spurious one is fitted..no markings nor part number. Thanks again.

Quick 'n effective is an inline statMOD from Andy........ Inline stat, £10 + 10 minutes. Air dam lagging, £1 + 10 minutes. Battery mod, 20p + 5 minutes.

Can't quite believe what I'm reading here about putting sludge coolant back in, saying engine knackered, etc...And its running ok...Just overheating like blocked radiator that QintQ many a time has said using wrong coolant causes this. I take it the top coolant hoses have been bleed of all air.
