Can anyone recommend a mechanic near to Sandhurst that could take a look at my car?

I went in Easter 2001 and shot some in car footage. Unfortunately I lent the tape out. However, it was never returned to me. So lost the footage of me doing my first lap in the snow!
The ring don't pull no punches. It is as hard core as driving can be. I don't think I would go again, as it is just such a place that the mist can descend. Getting you to drive beyond your limits.

There's different types of cholesterol. LDL and HDL. HDL is the good stuff.

I've now seen that the water pump is not driven by the cam belt on the v6. Does this mean that it can be changed without going near to the cambelt?

I've been quoted £531 to change the cam belt, idlers, tensioners and waterpump. I still have two other quotes I'm waiting on.

« on: 06 July 2012, 19:47:20 »Thanks guys. What would I need to do, to flush the radiator. Or would I better off getting a mechanic to do it. I dont have access to a hose to squirt into the radiator. What should I pay do you think?
Maybe a member on here could help if you post your location , i took my radiator off to flush and then back flush but that didnt help as the rad was blocked solid in places , probably caused by use of radweld or similar in the past .
So you recommend that I fit a new rad? I'm near to Sandhurst Berkshire.

My recently purchased 1998 2.5 elite Auto Saloon has started to overheat. For the last couple of days after warming up the temp gauge was steady at 95 until today. When I used the kickdown and drove upto 70mph from 20mph. I noticed some time later that the temp gauge had creeped upto 100. It then went into the red. I got home and switched it off. About 2 hours later I went back out in the car. It was still warm. When driving I kicked down the gearbox when doing about 25mph upto 40mph. The temp gauge then went into red and the temp light came on soon after. I have checked the fuse next to the battery and those in the fusebox and all seems well. The fan does kick in. The oil, coolant level and condition looks fine. Any ideas? As it drove fine for 50 miles. Then today the temp starts playing up after I accelerated foot to floor.
