well it does say you can get your money back.

[scotty73]

£35 plus an hours worth of fuel and antifreeze, OUCH!!... Love that word "Guaranteed"... Wonder if you can get your cash back?

[lozz]

There disclaimer says something like, awritten statement is required to confirm head gasket failure,
so no refund idont think,
ibet 100s of people have fell for it,

iwas half way through changing the headgasket too couidnt get hold of a gasket so i thought id try it after the chap in the shop saying it works,
so tomorow head has to come off and sent off for skiming

[lozz]

Ffs,
just been thinking after the Mention of antifreeze,
ijust put the whole bottle in nothing else just this stuff neat, iwonder if this sh*t as got into one of the pots,
it ran 90% better before iput this sh*t in

[RayneR]

Go to the shop and do a claim for your money back!

[lozz]

Iwill try to get refund,
but idont think they will they most probs say contact the main company were only a supplier (seller)
iwont be using this shop again, altho his parts are cheap,one of the cheapest shops around for parts

No1 and 2 pot filled to the top ,
looks like this stuff blows the gasket completly, K-seal wouid of been a better option,

Theres only one option for h/g failiure (replace ) Miracle cures in bottles is Bullshite

Saw this in motorfactors the other day, thought it looked too good to be true.

Don't forget, when you buy anything the garuntee/warrenty is with the shop your bought it from, not the manafacturer!

[lozz]

Yes, Thats what ithought too Bailes,
Ive Asked and just got told to contact the Main company, They took the stuff off the Shelves they wont be selling it anymore,
one of the chaps that works there, said it may work in some engines But a K-series is a big No , k-seal or replace gasket,

ive just got to find something to clean this engine out with now, this stuff as gone like Glue simalar to Evo-stick thinking of petrol mixed with Jizer/or gunk ..dunno,

[lozz]

After 2 days in the hot sun,
ive got all this steel seal out of the engine,

cleaned it out with Jizer and gunk, big mistake, it smoked like a bastid for 2hours after id built it all back up,
nearly took a hammer to it a few times, ive had enough of rovers,


i got my money back for the steel seal in the end, after talks with the Manager,
also got a free set of 15 ratchet spanners
