My 3.0l 2003 trooper has got diesel in the coolant, and its now spraying out of the expansion tank! I've been quoted £700+VAT - is this a usual price. Apparently there are no outstanding recalls so I have to pay. I can't do this myself and it has to go to a garage, but I am reeling at the cost! |

err no way! it's about £40 for all the seals and say 2-3 hrs to do the job tops, they don't need to replace the sleeves just change the o rings on them part no.s are on this site if you do a search. trouble is it could be a cracked head but you need to do the cheaper option first |
