Sorry to hear that, but above, HG change is easy enough if it's the Cossie that needs it.

One question though- why start it up for 20 mins every night? Surefire way to bugger it with borewash, pee off the neighbours and generally do bugger all to help keep the car alive....

Once a week maybe it could be useful, if that.


In the 20 mins it's idling do the fans come on? If not it may have been sitting there cooking itself to death
