Been nursing my beloved for a number of thousands of miles - time has come to change the head - small crack somewhere - no oil in water/no water in oil/no power loss/no missing/no smoke -- but pressurises and spits water if 'turbo'd'!

Am in North Wales - will travel but not too far as have no other vehicle to travel in! Ta in anticipation of a miracle!

Are you sure it's not just the beginnings of head gasket failure? they do fail very progressively, and can last for thousands of miles while "slightly" blown

and not trying to be picky, but it's a 1769cc engine.

Thanks for that David - will investigate first but my 'helper' has just suggested that line of approach first. Geoff

The nearest head to you Silverfox is probably far closer than you think, my Sis is scrapping a 405 which has a BX Turbo engine in it

PM Me if you need it.

Already have two spare motors, space is what I need, that and time, I think the work/life balance is a bit skewed currently, not that Im complaining, just knackered.
