Hmm, if its tidy....
It is, no rust, it has got a nasty scratch on the N/S/R door though and no leather :-/
-
If you'd be happy to use it for a year or so, probably worth fixing if its not got interstellar mileage
-
Its only done 106,000 and was an absolute bargain :y

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.

Usually, would a v6 head need skimming?

Headgasket change is a headgasket change....
Can do one in a day....

Doug, its a nice looking car, but it does sound as though the engine is proper poorly....
It would be better than the Ford...lol :y
-
Gotta do it!
One more miggy that survives extends the life of the marque! :y
-
Due to it being a 2000 W plate and that it's an MV6 that did not start life as a police car would it not be worth a bit more money.

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 :y

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!
