Jimbo714 Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Elderly lady 1 owner from new, m.o.t in till next year not greatly serviced 60,000 on the clock, she recently had a flat battery so got it jumped and was told to pop back out to car to turn it off in half hour in which she fell asleep for 6 hours with the coolant fan not working, so had a quick look as it’s swinging over but won’t fire ???? But for £60 I can grumble 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Crikey! £60! Was thinking it was a canny find when I saw the low mileage.. But that price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo714 Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share Posted October 15, 2019 Just had a quick look over and the radiator is bone dry and expansion bottle has a silver thick residual, so most definitely head gasket I would say, but possibly a bit more internal damage???

Gel Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Great find I'm amazed the engine isn't seized.....maybe the description of events isn't accurate ? I'd be inclined to do a compression test before you dig any deeper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
