Hi,
just bought myself a nice hilux surf L plate, 3.0td manual . . love it to bits.
BUT!!! . . Bubbles come up the rad when revved - not foam or oil . . just some medium sized bubbles, oil weeping all along head gasket(not dripping), discoloured aluminium above one of the cylinders ( previous overheating??) and yesterday morning a puff of white smoke from exhaust followed by 5 or 6 seconds of lumpy turn over. Temperature was below zero - (Aberdeenshire)
This morning it wouldn't start! just made one "click" noise every time i turned the ignition? hydrolock? . . any way i let it roll out my driveway whilst lifting the clutch in gear. . . tried ignition again and it started on the button?! it then blew out a small amount of white smoke as i drove to work, untill engine was hot. . .
Is this cylinder head crackage/warpage/seepage? ha ha . . better laugh than cry!
