Thanks again Mike, I have trawled the Nikasil information in the past and according to the information my car was considered low risk according to the VIN, my only concern has been wether the engine in situ is the original as the number shown on registration documents does not appear to correspond w...

Thank you Mike for your speedy response the articles were worth reading. I have had the X308 since January 2005 completing 34000 miles, with the total mileage now at 83000.I hope I am not tempting fate by commenting that in that time I have had no serious engine problems except the initial flooding ...

My X308, MY2000, 3.2 Ltre has an engine number that does not appear to relate to the conventional series of numbers showing the time and date of manufacture.

From your description I would venture you have located the filler neck, which is telescopic and does tend to leak if filled to the brim. The main tank is below the strengthening plate, not easily visible or accessible, the pump is situated at the bottom corner of the tank, access can be gained by pa...

Satisfactory outcome. Took the unit out of the boot in anticipation of sending away for service, decided to bite the bullet and have a looksee, thinkng message NO DISC may mean mechanical problem rather than faulty laser.
