My love affair with this car is almost over
Head gasket just went at 234,000. Did not overheat I saw the steam and stopped within a minute the temperature only went 3/4. Oil in the water. Dam
My missus will kill me if I get this fixed. She thinks I should have a newer car! The car has been looked after as I have 67mile round trip to work.
I purchased Jan 2012 on 114000mls I think. Always serviced at least once a year but usually, I do at least the oil filter 9-12000 miles.
Work done/parts
120,000 - Both coil packs from original
130,000 - front lambda replaced with new - now has heater fault code but makes no difference to performance.
Belt and water pump 170-180,000mls.
Exhaust 190,000
All brake pipes
Fuel pump 210000
Discs all round
Both rear calipers
4 sets of plugs
Thermostat and top hose 220,000
Black. Lacquer bad on the boot lid, spots of rust 2 wheel arches can only see when you are looking for it. Non-leather Everything is original apart from Egg crate grill (£50) and the LPG KIT
This Kit is the best you can have its BRC with Japanese injectors KEIHIN - This would be able to be swapped to another Phase 1 T4 I have been quoted £600 labour to fit to another Car. I would consider doing this if I found the right T4.
Anyway I have been offered an amount for it. If one of you would like it or any parts off of it please get in touch. It's being Collected Weds 11th April unless I get some interest on here. Lee 07802462389
