Stanced XUD Estate (IT'S ALIVEEEEahahaha)

[Dan!]

Not sure on the paint idea, but it might just be the slightly poor 'shop which makes it look odd I had a few pathetic attempts at other variations, including a MTFU? and get the grinder out style 306 truck, which would look most epic :romance-inlove:

Waits for matt's post on the next 18 estate for sale threads on the forum "so tempted, when's payday" followed by silence...

[Scott]

Ed I think I might have to change your title to something troll related

Fuuuuuuuuuuuu

[cwspellowe]

In the words of Duncan bannatyne, I'm out.

Head gaskets blown in two places. No money left to fix it this month, so no FCS.

Will update more when am not as gutted.

[darrenjlobb]

Gutting, gasket is like 30 quid and tenner for bolts, surely we can find the money somewhere, be a shame for ANOTHER derv to not make it

[Matt]

Come on you can get this together? I'll buy some parts of you any interesting bits left on the 6 haha

[cwspellowe]

Ha cheers for the vote of confidence Matt. It's more the lack of time with current work commitments.

Darren cheers for the offer but I can't ask for a whip round or everyone else in the same position deserves one too.

[Matt]

Will take a day at most, there's got to be a few members local who with gone lend a hand! This estate needs to be at FCS!!!!

[Alee83]

Here here... Needs to be at FCS! If I was closer would defo come help. Would be willing to donate too...

[cwspellowe]

That's the crap thing about Scotland, there's f*ck all members up here! Doesn't help that its a bank holiday weekend either as no motorfactors will be open tomorrow. Really doesn't leave me much time.

[Matt]

Ahhh fair point about location/members. Really hope this can come together this week, really hope you can make it down

[cwspellowe]

Me too, only reason I took this on was for the FCS weekend. Will be a fair slog to get it ready in time, me and Xav are going to batter into it.

Trying to find a parts place open on a Sunday to get cracking. f*ck knows where though.

Thats the spirit, drash on! Good luck with your search, I really hope that you get it sorted!

[Scott]

Chris I know a parts place that will be open... Cam always check there for you and send it next day delivery?

[C.A.R.]

Damnit, that's gutting

Really hope that something comes together. There must be somewhere that you can get the gasket from.

Why not crack on with your other plans (paint etc.) then worry about sorting the engine out next weekend? Or have I got the dates wrong?

[Judge Dead]

master parts (or auto parts cant rember name) will be open on sunday no doubt next to auldis just down from new tesco in belshill mate. wither they can get what you need or not is another thing tho. and quickco in the industrial estate (possibly)

[Matt]

As a fail safe..... Why not use some of that stuff like rad weld but for blown gaskets? Get to FCS and back then take it off and sort the head out clean it up etc

[darrenjlobb]

DONT start chucking radweld and shit in it...that will just ruin the motor and then ull have to change the whole lot, horrendus stuff that is.

Just change the gasket / get the head done and itl be like brand new

[Matt]

Fair enough never new if that stuff was any good or not never tried it

[cwspellowe]

Just uploading pics at the minute. Looks to me like it's blowing between 1&2 and 3&4 going by the carbon deposits on the gasket, my thinking is that it's blowing exhaust gas straight into the coolant channels causing it to blow out of the expansion tank.









Second opinion would be nice though

Also, one 83*C thermostat refusing to open at 100*C. No wonder Gav said it always ran hot, bloody thing doesn't open! New thermostat fitted as that was my first hope but didn't cure anything, needed replaced anyway by the looks of things!

[Matt]

Doesn't look good that mate, I'd agree. An that 'stat looks very worn hahah

I'm local to you mate and happy to give you a hand if its gets you over the line with this.

I've got no mechanical knowledge but happy to help out

[cwspellowe]

Cheers Alan, you can make the coffee

Found a place open today that has an MLS gasket for me, £32 so not too bad. Heading up with Xav in a mo, hopefully have everything back together this afternoon.
