I think I've cooked my engine
marky:
Any luck with the k-seal. I've tried 2 bottles in the last two days and all thats happened is a small leak has developed in the passenger footwell, so maybe not a head/ gasket failure, maybe just a blockage/ airlock or maybe something REALLY serious

Hi Marky,
I put a bottle of K-seal in on Thursday night and I don't appear to have used any coolant since BUT I haven't driven very far since either, so maybe it hasn't got hot enough to show yet. :-k
I'll keep you posted :)

do you have sufficient clean oil and not watered down oil in the engine, as this will give you knocking,

Hi Ben,
Not that the engine uses oil to any degree but I do keep the level topped up. There's no obvious sign of water in the oil either so I'm fairly sure that's not the problem.
ben_haynes:
do you give it regular oil + filter changes, and is the oil dirty black and grainy or clean?? do you use a cheaper oil or a more expensive oil?? im only asking as we use a cheaper oil at work and the diesels tend to become black and grainy and knock more, i used to used a cheaper one in my 200 and i used to have to change the oil every few thousand miles as i would loose performance and it would get noisy then i found Castrol Magnatex 15/40 diesel and it would last 12000 + miles before getting dirty and noisy
