Seen alot of adverts like this recently. surely if you don't have time to fix then you'll really struggle to find time to break it??
Also what makes you think the gaskets has gone with such recent replacement parts?
Good luck with the sale

Like I said I would rather sell as a whole but if I have to break it then I will.

Was driving home yesterday and suddenly the temp shot up so pulled over and shut it off.

The coolant has gone from blue to black and you can almost see your reflection in it lol with the oil in there.

Have lost the love and don't think I will get it back!

That good enough reason for you ....?

I may be wrong here, but I think you have to state a price according to the forum classifieds rules? :scratch:
