So, some work has been done. Fitted headgasket. As Frank advised , 100 nm, then slacken each bolt, and make torque back to 100 nm one by one, after that each bolt torqued 30 degree, ... actually it make 120 nm. Spend a lot of time with that bloody chain .... top one. didn't expect itl make so...

i have been tried this, i manually turn on rad fan, than started car, and it went still overheated, so it didnt help... anyway headgasket fitted. Will see later on, when will manage start car.

Thanks frank, do i have slacken all bolts then torque again, or i have to each bolt slacken, then torque ? cheers

Well... nothing happening with no reason in cars, it havent happen in to my car yet, but those error codes could differ from car to car, depends of a lot things. The easier way is check oil level, coolant level, might sparkplugs and spark leads needs to be changed.... and i could call and call...

you have to find somebody, who have nissan consult OBD II scanner(in ebay cost 20-30 quid) , it will show up what error code you got... but i think need scan, when check engine light on.
