I've changed so many things on it. All 4 thermostats. Still no heat in the cabin. It did well for 1200miles but german roadworks are endless and it went hot and not starting. Such a head turner...Jesus, I'm breaking mine but it still runs

Thatlk be the heat exchange valve on the bulkhead. Not that it matters now. Wonder if your head gaskets gone like mine has.I've changed so many things on it. All 4 thermostats.

I take it you've got the relevant proof of ownership on you and can transfer it to whoever decides to take you up on this? Is it a UK registered car?

Yes. I found out about that valve but it was too late. Yes. I have V5 and 9months of mot left. Its a great project or parts donor. Shame to see it go but have no budget for it at the moment

I'm in the same boat (except mines on the drive
) Good luck with it, try the fullfatrr.co.uk forum and lrukforums.co.uk I have a feeling you need maximum exposure.
Can it be left where it is indefinitely without risk of fines/charges? If so I'd concentrate on getting yourself sorted first

I have to make a decision tomorrow. If you get me to uk. Either london or manchester. I have my tools in it. If you are in germany or eu 600€ its yours.thats how much will cost me to get back to uk. Many new parts and engine is turning. No compression. Probably head gasket on the way. Spent 2 weeks in the garage changing alternator, battery, injector washers, rockers gaskets, new 4 thermostats, thermostat housing, waterpump. Didn't know about the heat exchanger and that what made it overheat. Engine was sweet. Turbos are good. Chainbeen changen, new tyres, ceramic pads, suspension. On and on. Some cosmeticals left.
Haha ive got enough projects atm, what you need to spend on that will be what its worth when repaired so im out.
