[Guest Breadvan72]

Cash moneeze paid for such.  If anyone spots a knacked ooot Tagora or Murena in a scrappy, pls let me know.  Ta!

[overrun]

This post gave me a funny.

[Guest Breadvan72]

Having a crack in me old yarmouth's cylinder head didn't give me a funny, but, such is shite life, eh?

[Mr Lobster]

Surely you've more chance of finding Princess Diana straddling Shergar whilst racing Madeleine McCann through the local scrapyard than a Tagora.

 

I'd have thought that you'd be needing a trip to France really.

[ruffgeezer]

Oooh oooh, me me! 

 

 

Would the head off of this do?

 

[Guest Breadvan72]

That's a Bagheera, so, no.

[Guest Breadvan72]

One sold for 89 quid on eBay in April.

[dieselnutjob]

is it in any way related to the 505 GTI engine?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I think it is actually

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Actually I've just had a read up, seemingly it is not.

[ruffgeezer]

Hmm, I'm sure I was told it was a Matra of some sort, but there was little of it left for me to recognise.

I also sent an email to a friend in Oireland (Republic of, loike) who happens to know a Tagora Guru.

 

Another member of my network came back with this:

 

N7 AUTO PIECES

124, route de Lyon

03400 Yzeure

 

Tél. : 04 70 20 94 47

Fax : 04 70 20 48 93

 

It's a scrapyard with oodles of 80s tin and they parted out a gazillion of Tagoras.

 

And yes, a 505 head will fit, if you can find a 2.2 GTI to part out.

 

 

Two questions, if I may:

 

- What's wrong with the head you have?

- Isn't it time to think about inserting a V6?

[Guest Breadvan72]

Hmm, I'm sure I was told it was a Matra of some sort, but there was little of it left for me to recognise.

 

Yes, a Matra Bagheera.  The engine is not the same.

[Guest Breadvan72]

Head cracked - needs replacing. 

[Guest Breadvan72]

Merci beaucoup pour le linky, M. L'Homme de Junk!

505 Turbo (codes N9T and N9TEA) heads can be used,  slight differences in the valves, but perfectly interchangeable.

Peugeot used the old Simca engine for the 505 Turbos cause their own straight 4 fell apart with the turbo fitted.

Head cracked - needs replacing. 

 

Repair not an option? Some engine places specialise in repairing cracked heads.

[Guest Breadvan72]

505 turbo yes, 505 GTI no (that is a Douvrin engine).

 

Repair iffy - you have to bore down to see extent of crack.  Cracks in two places very close to valves.

I'll give this place their due, if they can't do it I bet nobody could.

[Guest Breadvan72]

Thanks for that, I have pinged them a ping.
