Hi All,
I have been trying to repair my car but to no avail as I may have found one of the causes of the overheating failure, there is a crack in thermostat housing. I have found this out when I tried to replace the thermostat but instead of fitting the thermostat just fit the cover and flush the system but the water is pisses out at the bottom thread. And I have found there is a lot of sludge in the engine so when the last owner changed the coolant he didn't flush out the system so I believe this is where the Head Gasket problem lies sludge eating away at the gasket.
So I have decided to sell my K11,mine is SORNED, but RUST FREE waxoyled in all underbody compartments, registered 03 plate but built October 02, 43000 on the engine, car body covered in sunflower stickers and a rugby sticker at the back saying “RUGBY! Elegant violence” and a powered by prayer sticker, also no bumps, sunroof and just needs a pair new CV boots and new engine, Head Gasket problems. If I could get about £200 then buy another one with service history and a high mileage of 60000, 1996 model making sure that it doesn’t have too many sensors and has an MOT and taxed & need TLC.
Yours Peter Rowley
