97 LWB Maverick breaking

11redrex · 14-04-2013, 15:07

Decided to break her as the head is apparently cracked. It's a real shame as she's in fantastic condiditon, but I can't afford the repairs. Good wings, nice alloy wheels with great tyres, leather interior, and lots of parts fitted in the last year (water pump, rad, exhaust). Anything you need just ask !

And here's one of a digger stuck in a muddy hole.

No idea how it got there

Are you seriously breaking this motor just cos of a effin head????? you are mad, Rick

Don't talk wet man, far too good to break. Take a look at your other thread there is no way that head is gone.

I don't have any use for it, and it already owes me about £1600. I've sold it through ebay three times and been let down every time, best price was about £800. Not that it mattered.
You're right, it is far too nice to break, but I made over a grand profit last time I broke one, so it makes sense.
I don't have the know how to change a head, even if I could one cheap enough, and I can't afford to pay a mechanic to do it. Hopefully it's not the head, and I can sell it complete for a decent price. Need to to get the engine bay cleaned so I can find this bloody oil leak !

Can't be that difficult, surely? Between us I'm sure we could guide you through it step by step.
