1996 (N) 850 T5 Manual - head gasket needs attention

[SeftonCR]

For sale is my 1996 Volvo T5 850

Must go as I can't spend the time on fettling at the moment. Runs but has a head gasket problem. See below.

The car that redefined Volvo and still makes the scenery move past in a blur!

Please note:

The head gasket needs attention. I today spotted some oil emulsion in the header tank so please be aware that you'll need to deal with this. I immediately had the car recovered home so it's not run more than a mile or two like that.

• Car still runs (but with a suspect head gasket, I would not recommend you thrash it or take it far)
• There's plenty of cheap car transport companies on ebay that will arrange to bring the car to you if you prefer.
• There's still plenty of oil in the engine.
• Temperature gauge was still normal at this time.
• No sign of emulsion in the oil, just the header tank.

With a little work this car will be in fine form again. Alternatively, it's a great project or source of spares.

It's available on ebay, so bid away!
