Thread: There's water coming out my Pipe!!!

Exhaust pipe.

Keep it clean folks.

I have been searching for Some missing coolant.... And that has in itself caused another problem but I'll get to that later....

Let the ol V8 disco idle after a cold start and a small puddle appeared under the tail pipe.. And your hand gets very wet when you hold it under there for a few seconds... So I am hoping its a head gasket and not a slipped liner.

And now to the other thing.... I was pulling plugs to look for wet sparkies and managed to rip the little crimped clip off the end of the lead.... After some good auro advice (Butey) I tried to recrimp it on..... Alas.... The repair hasn't worked and has eaten my coil...

So, the best outcome is a head gasket and new coil while that bit of the car is all in bits .....Worst is a 2nd hand Toyota

Cheers

I..

I'm going to post a happy story because there's always so much misery around here.

I had no blown head gasket or slipped liner.

Coolant leak was a tiny weep in a pipe joint going onto the manifold and causing the burnt smell.

The miss came from a fault being created by the LPG system that needs servicing, which damaged the MAF. That's the second time it's done that and I should have checked but anyway.....

MR swapped out the old plug lead too.

Service plus a new MAF... $620 including $275 for OEM MAF.

Now it goes like a freakin train.

Also just put a fresh set of Mickey Thompson MTZs on it and has cured the wheel wobble at 80K and runs as smooth as silk.

So... it's been a grea truck up till now and I feel lucky. Google that ya buggers.....

Cheers

Ian.
