Hi guys,
Have managed to seal leak with old plate from my donor car.Have filled system as you said Citrojim and all seems ok,took it for a drive as well and does'nt overheat at all!! Will give it a longer drive tomorrow.If the head was damaged would it soon overheat?I had idling for about 1/2 hour while I was bleeding it and it never got up to really hot for a while!
Hope I'm ok,what do you all think?
Regards
Danny

Re: XUD9 Bleeding coolant
Hi all,
Quick update,have been running the car today and everything seems fine,does'nt get hot sits about 85 ish.About 25 mile run then a short town run. Allowed to cool took off rad cap coolant sitting just below Max line as before I set off,so not lost any coolant.
Guess I've been lucky and that I turned engine off when no hot air coming out!!
So have replaced timing belt,tensioners,water pump,coolant,glowplugs and full service.Should keep me going for a bit and I pick up the car for £190 with MOT until May,with only 101,000 on the clock!!
Thanks for all your help CitroJim and others.
Regards
Danny

Have you got a spare bit? My scrap 306 could have one if you need it.
