I've got the (special VW/Volvo) tools required on the diesel engine to do the cambelt and timing belts if you wanted to give it a go yourself...

Who would you use to do such a job. Have you done a head gasket before. Do you know of a good mechanic who knows these engines and can set it up right.
Is there a better head gasket to use these days? I know engine was never touched before, so head should be good. Just needs a head gasket. |

This is the sort of thing you will be looking for: eBay :302463101505
But.. you have to be 100% on which variant of engine is in your 760, D24T vs D24Tic. jor

from memory the genuine head gaskets there where 3 types and recognised by the notches on the gasket these can be found near the front of the engine on injectors side get a good stone lamp you will see them on the gasket if its dark or you should see them anyway ! 1 notch .2 notch or 3 notch !

I thought those notches indicated whether it had a head gasket done before, that the notches indicated head was skimmed, so you would use a 3 notch to make up for it, and that if it already had a 3 notch gasket it meant you needed a new head as it could not be skimmed again.
Just something I heard, not saying it's true. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-VOLVO....c100169.m2942 That is car on ebay. Seller is selling it. I can have for free if I wish. It was parked as head gasket went on it. Car did not burn oil, and has original engine so on. Had a conversion to normal springs and shocks on back. It sits level, a lot have that expensive rear suspension that sags and rides low if faulty. |

Saw this on ebay to, unrelated. Low miles diesel. Also two other petrols on ebay, he is asking 5000 each. This low mile diesel if it had a light restro should be worth 3k. |

I also saw those on eBay earlier this week. Talk about "like buses" - nothing for absolutely ages then two saloons turn up the same week - albeit at opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of condition. First 760 TD's I think I've seen up for sale since a got my estate and that was 2 years ago.....
