Hmmm......does this sound bad? One hundred yards down the road, my S2 dumps pretty much All of it's fresh coolant out of the exhaust in an attempt to become a Red Devil. Methinks it's the heads but I've not got em off yet. Does anybody have a spare engine? lol

I know someone who might have a 2.9 sierra 4x4 for sale....

i have a step by step photo guide to head gasket replacement if required...

I'm gonna get a handy mate to take the thing apart. I bought it a month ago and still haven't driven the thing. More fool me eh?

Get it done ASAP, I left an old golf for a few months and the whole lot was rusted to hell.

When it's running OK and not falling apart either, you'll be chuffed to bits.

I've had mine 3 years and still grin like a big kid every time I go out in it.

I know the maintaining of the car can get you down at times but just remember what it used to feel like when such a car passed you on the road. I was so envious!

I have a 2.9 engine that i bought off a local scrapyard that was closing down, came out of a granada that drove in there with a lot of welding required (MOT failure), engine supposedly rebuilt just a few thousand miles before, but I've not had it apart to verify that so would be very much sold as seen. make me an offer if you want it

I think that's why I've not thrown the car back at the place I got it from.....I just want to get the thing out into Northumberland!
