like i said before i have no idea what the problem could be. But its going to pacific works at the weekend to get sorted.
Im guessing a cracked block is a lot more work and a lot more expense than a simple swapping over of a head and gasket?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] The worst night of my life, diagnosis needed

The buyer wants me to go 50/50 as thats the fairest option. I really dont want to as ultimately it means ove sold the car for £1300, which is...

Re: what is the cheapest insurance co. for mr2 turbo's?
Adrian Flux win for me, 20 years old 3 years ncb, all mods declared on fully comp insurance for just over 1000.
im on a modified classic policy apparently. They love you if your young and have mods, any other insurance company associate the car with a young driver and turn you away.
