Would it be wort a tad more to you to break it up? What with it being an Elite and all?...

Just a thought... Though I doubt I would have the patience to do that myself!   :)

Its gone mate believe me, smoke followed by high pressure water out of tailpipe!. It wasnt really using a lot of coolant but about a month or so ago it just went. I was going to get Elite Pete to do headgasket for me but I now have another which is taking priority so this needs to go, I thought id offer it here before ebay etc  cheers  Des :)

If you read the thread the information is there.

Head gashet gone, and water out of the exhuast to me is enough to say thet the car is not worth driving, thats even if it starts and runs.

It starts and runs but obviously very rough, it ran really smooth before, probably the best one i have driven.
Can i just point out that it needs t piece on multi ram, front headlight sensor and an air box as i have stolen these for my new elite :)
