Well i was going to break this MV6 as it has had a HG failure, but as it is a 2000 car im thinking about keeping it for myself, its quite tidy really and im not going to get a later mini facelift, oh what to do  :-/

You can do a head gasket change for 150 quid....

Need a hand?

Its a bad one Mark

I went to buy it last weekend but when I got it running it was missing and the water that was in the coolant tank drained within seconds and so did the other 4 kettles full. I then removed the dipstick the end was covered in Mayo and water vapour was spouting about 4 inches from the tube. There was a strong smell of petrol in the coolant tank as well.

And?

Headgasket change is a headgasket change....

Can  do one in a day....

Didnt we do a pair of heads in one evening??

[albitz]

looks nice,would be a shame to break it.

So if it costs 150 quid or so to do it, that means a W plate MV6 on the road for 300 quid 8-)

I would do it, the wife would kill me but then once done she would forgive me as she loves riding shotgun in my beast....

Considering that a car requires more energy to be built than it will use in its entire lifetime I suggest that you go for a repair, esp if the rest of the car is sweet.  

Just a green angle for you

Even if you dont keep it with the tax rises your bound to sell it for more then you paid for it and the cost of fixin it!
