Probably do with a full service and get rid of those silly little water scoops on the bonnet, go back to standard with the back plates and your looking at a good car hopefully

That looks like £800 well spent to me, amazing what you can get at an auction

 

yes was looking around last night on the net for the proper vents

 

hi guys, not good news me thinks had a play today, thursday noticed water level was a bit low so topped it up, took it for a burn few mins ago......................
overheated, drove slowly back home, water had shot out the overflow and could smell exhaust gasses in car (out the heater vents)
the dreaded head gaskets
anyone know of who could do the work around the bath area??
even if it cost £600 i still got a good deal

 

thats why the last owner has got shot through px then. head gaskets. once fixed i still think you are quids in.

 

Two choices, fix it or break it Either way you should get your money back .

 

apart from david at api anyone nearer like the bath/bristol area that could do the work?

 

Can't recommend them, but, my car came from Bristol and i have reciepts for a belt change from http://www.awesomeimports.com/. Might be worth a phone call .
