Zelandeth Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 That's a shame. On the plus side it's not a particularly bad engine to do a head gasket change on as I recall, mostly just a bit of a faff to get everything out of the way beforehand. Getting the manifold to turbo joint apart is probably the single worst step involved, equally getting that joint to seal again afterwards. Should have a bit more room to play with and less faff in the way than on a Xantia at least. Has to be worth doing though given the general condition of the car I'd think. Probably a good time to do any other jobs that might be on the to do list that need access to the back of the engine while you have stuff in bits. They're very much on the list of cars I'd love to have, but am too afraid to buy. That bit of my brain tries to run away screaming every time it realises that there's an Activa on the drive...

SierraMikeHotel Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Bramz. This reads like my motoring life about 15 years ago, on fast forward and cheap cider. Slow down, dude. flat4alfa and barrett 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Reverend Bluejeans Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 £99 a month on a lightly used Citroen Cactus sounds like a plan tbh. Lacquer Peel and flat4alfa 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
