Breaking 1994 2.5 TD
Chaps,
I have decided to break the 2.5. It has 165k on the clock, and I suspect the Head Gasket is gone. It is loosing coolant, and loads of bubbles in any coolant that is left in it.
If you need anything from it, please get in touch.
More pictures are on here, and more can be supplied if requested.
Please note that the car is wet in the pictures, and that the paint looks better than what it is in reality.

Please note the car is in Northern Ireland.
Regards
Robert

Hi Robert
What are the strut heads like.
Heated seats?
Injectors and head?
ECU's etc.
All depends on carriage cost across.

Hi Robert, I'd be interested in the silver wings, nearside rear door, nosecone and scuttle end caps if they
are straight and have at least some shine to the paint!? What seats does it have? I'm guessing I'd have to
liase with you re meeting when you're over on this side of the water...

Hi John,
Strut heads aren't too bad. Well from what I have seen they are Ok. Just a bit of corossion under the rubber in places. I will take pictures, from above and below.
The seats aren't heated.
I don't plan on keeping any of the 2.5 specific stuff for myself, so ECUs, injectors and head etc are available.
Hi Andrew,
PM sent earlier in response to your earlier request.
Nose cone is sold.
The seats are the alcantara and velour of the early non leather exclusives. Driver seat bolster is worn, but I have a spare glovebox lid in the alcantara if you wanted to attempt a repair. The seats are grubby, but no burns or other damage apart from the wear to the drivers seat.
Davetherave has a set of these available, he'd be a lot close to you than I am.
Transport is always going to be fun. I could meet you at Dublin Port or something to make things easier, or arrange to bring them over next time I'm over on the "mainland". I suppose if there were enough interested parties, it might be worth sending a pallet over to someone.
Ray - is it the switch with the automatic function you require? This car didn't have one of those fitted, it has a standard switch in its place.
Can I also say now that I'm keeping the window regulators - with 3 XMs in the fleet, I need t hold onto these.
Regards
Robert
