al4x Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 thats the year that can have issues, its not head gasket though they crack heads. But new heads are @£300 bare if you then swap your parts over its not a mega thing if it happens just check for oil and pressure in the coolant expansion tank. At that age you have to buy on condition and price, little things easy to check are for cracked springs etc but even they aren't mega as milners are cheap enough. Economy factor 25-30mpg depending on tyres and how much time you spend off road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigman Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Thanks for that mate thats a shame as I do like it , is it a given that the head will crack? Condition wise it's ok he is asking £2500 for it , worth the risk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 At that its a cheap motor, if the worst happened odds are you could repair or break it and get most of your money back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
