Can't believe it! My 19994 diesel Mav with 190000 on board got through with only handbrake adjustment and brake-clean. Local tree man who runs a Terrano said get one and SAVE from his experience of Disco's.How right he was - I only need some other form of heater now as matrix leaks........

great news, try k-seal in the rad and see if it stops the leak, it is very good, a few people on here have tried it.

Put two bottles in - but still getting steam and fumes when temp changed to hot.

tezzer · 09-06-2010, 20:54

did you try pouring some into the heater hose, that might be better as it's more direct.

open the windows and give it 20 mins .... itll stink and steam like buggery ... but it will stop leaking with all that k seal in ... trust me

point the blowers to the floor and open what windows you can make sure you take something to wipe windows

Good thinking -I was losing faith in the k seal as it says it works in 3 mins on the bottle

zippy656 · 09-06-2010, 21:33

nar, remember the heater has less water passing through it that the other rad..

PCshedman · 09-06-2010, 21:36

Cheers - will give it a go. If you never hear from me again I will still be on the iron lung!
