Get some one to drive you to collect it armed with a gasket kit, fresh head and a selection of tools. Few hours later your driving home:) Your not going to lose anything as you will have to buy these parts anyway. On the other hand you may find it has a cracked liner then you can kick the guy in the nuts over the price

Could u not borrow an A-Frame of somebody... where is the said car?

[robbie506]

its in a place called musselburgh just outside edinburgh gettin it off my cousin.

cant get an a frame i have no towbar any more got rid of the 307. got quotes the cheapest is £158 for delivery.

this is drivable but over heats so i would be pullin over every 20 mins to let it cool down
