I thought about this and I can't imagine it will work. With the high
compression of the diesel engine there will be no way to get the
sealant into the leak. Cylinder pressure will keep it away from the
leak.
I used it in a friends van years ago since he had $0s and needed to get his
van up so he
could earn the cash to fix it the right way. He never did the last time I
saw him several years back he was still driving the same van and never had
another problem with the head gasket. This may be a stretch but wht the hell
if it works eaven for a short while the $3 to $4 investment could help you
for now .
Good luck Derick

Ok thanks
I realise that the compression should be comparatively similar between
cylinders, any ideas on what basic (ball park) compression should be
on a diesel engine? Antone know of a trick to seal the coolant system
for a minor leak coming from head gasket? Wishful thinking?
From the looks of the coolant I flushed out someone already tried the
bronse flake sealant.

Yup, wishful. the reality is that if the head gasket is blown, or the
head has enough of a hole on the exhaust side ( a crack between intake
and exhaust valves is a spot to look) then the compression is going to
be slightly different now, and very different later.
Given evidence of a fix in a can' effort already, and expanding
hoses go for a sincere diagnosis. To continue running it, however
delightful will lead to disaster. I'm not sure you couldnt swap in a
newer xd3te motor or even older (ack). If the rest of the thing,
trans,electrical,suspension is in good shape. If this is an xd2s, I
would rebuild it, maybe 1200 for the parts and machine work (only
guessing).How many miles on it?? From what I can gather the turbo
peugeot motor is far more efficient than MB, if a bit less robust.
If you want I'd trade you the 220d thats in the rover. nahh you're
better off fixing the peugeot.
Cheers,
SC
