340 breaking/ forsale

Xraycat · Mar 13th, 2015, 19:33

Hi guys/girls

My daily 340 1.4 engine overheated this week and drank all it's coolent and steamed out the exhaust!
I removed the head to inspect and can't see anything obvious wrong.

I'm going to be selling the car as a project or happy to break if any one wants

It has 75mm lowering blocks, -75mm front lowring springs front shocks have had the fluid replaced with gear oil, land rover rear shocks. These were all new at Christmas
13x7" starmags Dunlop 175/50/13 tyres, only done 500 miles from new and in very good condition, I have the correct spigot rings and nuts for the volvo too.

Car has mot till June, will need a bit of welding this year, car is a bit ratty in places but very original

Looking for £800
( £400 for the wheels/£400 for the 340)

Please contact me on 07837782202 for further details or for offers on parts/ the whole car.

I don't have the time to fix it I was going to put it to one side and convert it with a 16v clio engine but I've lost the love.....

Coolent leak was from the rad as the engine pressurised the coolent system and the rad blew!
