1998 China Blue D Turbo S Spares or Repair Lots of Extras MOT & TAX

[bobertmate]

Here we have my mates 306 D Turbo S in China Blue, suspected head gasket failure.

We did the head gasket change in May 2013 due to loss of coolant and oil in the expansion tank with full head gasket kit, including rocker cover gasket, glow plugs, D ring, head bolts, spare 110k head off his old '98 Diablo D Turbo S, with new expansion tank and heater matrix pipes. we also fitted his Turbo Dynamics/Derv Doctor Ko3s hybrid turbo no play (was on his old Diablo when he bought it, have invoices and a picture of his old car outside derv doctor) new thermostat, cambelt, water pump, tensioners, aux belt, fuel filter, exhaust and inlet gaskets, nissens rad, with a full service. (have pictures to prove this).

July 2013 just before FCS we fitted brand new steering rack arms and track rod ends, new bottom ball joints, metal droplinks, steering rack gaitors, his pretty much brand new TA Technix coilovers and lowered rear beam off his old Diablo with new brake shoes and cylinders and new ABS sensors with new front brake pads.

He bought the car in September 2012 with a folder full of receipts and invoices for work carried out, car was completely standard when bought.

Selling due to suspected head gasket failure again, (annoyingly) we think the cause of this must have been a bad quality head gasket. The car doesn't and hasn't overheated but coolant goes reasonably quickly like last time and he found a small amount of oil in the expansion tank again.

Car has 180,000 miles, 7 months MOT 3 months tax, new battery, very clean interior, tight gearbox and clean bodywork still running the stock Lucas fuel pump, although have a 90k bosch pump off of a 405. (optional)

Gloss black mirror bases and petrol cap panels, and scuttle

Lowered rear beam around 60mm
Nissens radiator
De Vinyled B pillars
Ph3 side skirts
Cone filter
3" backbox
Unfitted Ph3 bootlid in China Blue slight marks by window nothing serious (extra £30)

Will also sell the car with a 9mm bosch pump off a 405 with 90k, brand new toyo sports intercooler and 2.25" piping kit, brand new hoffman decat pipe worth about £300 alone

Bad points;

Heater works but only out the vents but not windscreen,

central locking doesn't work due to damaged door loom (was like it when bought but hadn't got round to fixing) although have the spare loom from the spare Diablo D Turbo S
Key snapped in drivers door (will be removed)
Needs hockey sticks and front lion as someone stole them
Rear view mirror keeps falling off

Have tried to be as honest as possible in the description and is a very reluctant sale, just he can't justify spending even more money on the car as it has had around £400 in parts in the last 9 months. The car never fails to start and has always been a pleasure to drive, with only a tyre advisory on last MOT.

Will sell the car as it is for £500 and with FMIC and piping, Bosch pump and decat for £750

Standard wheels, not Saxo VTS wheels as pictured.
