Get the thing up to me for a couple of days.

You can have it back, repaired, for a fraction of what your garage want.

The process will involve a coolant pressure test, plug inspection, inspection for oil/water in plug wells, presence of exhaust gas in header tank, basically a proper methodical diagnosis

It's just a shame the plonker told you to put rad weld in, it can mask the problem making diagnosis more difficult

I'd be amazed if its HG. Because even though the composite gasket material can rot to high heaven, the fire rings around the pistons stay intact

Err - excude my ignorance on this, but...

Is this a pre or post facelift? I have a Tech 1 + MSC, and that used to be able to read the codes on my P, S and T Reg Omegas. I don't know where it stops working, but it doesn't work on my current 2001 Y reg.

If there is a chance of it working on your car, then I'm in Yeovil and you're welcome to ues it.

Cheers
Malcolm

That`s your hot start problem. Other three are due to battery running low
