TOMsGPTurbo Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 How's this for luck, just before Christmas, our one and only daily car - Astra, just blew the head gasket, car is getting coolant in two cylinders and pinging bad. I'm officially up the you-know-what creek without a paddle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark90 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 "Car-go" is the brand, seal up is there product. It's pretty decent stuff to get you out of trouble. Good luck man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonboy Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Glad to hear someone was able to help you out with a car to use while the Astra gets attention, what a shitty time for it to happen! Â Try to have a Merry Christmas mate. :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mark, I'll give that a go. ______________ Â Back to Maxi, I have a couple of intercooler piping leaks to get around, the tubing is made from that sh*tty light alloy material which is pretty soft, and when the clamps are tightened they seem to warp out of shape. I also need that non-aircon power-steering belt.and I'm nearly there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just havnt had the time to put them on, or even a test fit! Going to have to work on my Maxi soon as it's going to be passed down to my beautiful daughter - hence no real updates lately - been kinda busy getting ready for my little one :) Â Latest edition to my family and my wifes and my first child- Â So, I might have another 10yrs to fix Maxi ;) Edited February 13, 2013 by TOMsGPTurbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
