Do'er of stuff and the like
*SOLD*
I bought the mrs a new un' so her old un' is for sale.
Its a 2004 Black warrior spec double cab
Had a recon' engine about 30,000 miles ago (reciept to prove and the engine condition shows this)
MOT until April 2015
The variable geometry nozzle turbo is playing up and overboosting up to 3 bar!!! (should be 1 bar) I have bought a new turbo but I really cannot be arsed to change it. The weathers crap and just bleurgh. Lost interest.
Its got loads of service history, we had all the belts changed in april this year with reciept for £900 to prove. including new waterpump, replacing the crankshaft pulley bolt.
It wants a new gearbox mount as the old un has failed so the engine is sitting back at an angle a bit and makes a clunk.
I suspect the head gasket has gone as its started putting oil into the coolant. No coolant in the oil though. I have purchased a full head gasket kit with new bolts and everything needed with the proper metal gasket not the cheapo paper one! I would pressure check the head and have it skimmed as a matter of course to be fair.
Still driveable but you have to watch the coolant and top it up after 100 miles or so. Not one to drive from lockerbie to essex or whatever though!
£1800
