Sounds like a plan

Ok turns out..

The clutch slip was a siezed clutch arm (I think) Iv lubed it up and took the SDi's out and I dont have anymore clutch slip no matter what I do, I cant get it to slip, which is a good thing..

Headgasket failure.. I carried on running despite me thinking the head gasket had gone.. I hadnt checked my coolant level for about 2 weeks so I thought id see how much it needed.. Andd.... it was bang on max still

Turns out it was a leaking coolant hose!

FAIL.

Cant believe it, theres been nothing wrong with it the whole time

Anyway the drivebelt was squeeling when I first started it in the mornings so iv got a new belt ready to put, il have that on when I get a spare 5 minutes!

So all is good at the minute!

Good stuff, it's lucky you hadn't spent loads of time and £££ pulling the box and doing the hg.

Wouldnt of been a complete waste of time and money!

Glad it was a easy sort and not too expensive.

Hey look what's that - a conclusion - looks good - let's jump .....

What's that ???? It's something else and cheap as chips to sort out !!!!

Result ...

Haha

When I first saw that the coolant leve had dropped, I just guessed at HGF, wasnt 100% but iv had 3 L-series with HGF now so it wouldnt surprise me if it was but I got chance to have a proper look over it today and its nothing serious at all..

Thank foook

Another thing to consider before leaping is the reason for belt noise, is it an alternator struggling with a dying battery, not uncommon to manifest itself on cold mornings first.
