Lookin At An Mr2

[Celica_GT]

hi,

I owned a celica gt but have now sold that. A friend is selling his Mr2 G-limited (imported car, So not too sure on spec) But a while ago it ran dry and overheated.

He re-filled it with water a few days later after leaving it standing and it drives again with no apparent loss of power.

But when i checked it yesterday, it took a little water to fill it, although, i couldn't actually see where the header tank is to see what the current level was at. But it started fine and ran fine.

No blue/black smoke.

No mayo on the oil filler cap. But, i left the water filler cap off and slowly could see some froth coming back up. does this mean the head gasket has gone?

Any advice or pointer would be greatly appreciated.

Stay away... There are many a cheap G-limited (import NA MR2's) on the market which are in working order.

How much is he asking for the car?

I could be wrong but I think Rogue do an engine swap for £400 www.revision6.com

Have a look anyway!

rogue wouldnt p|ss on a car, nevermind do an engine swap for £400!

id be tempted at £200, if it has popped the HG, then do it yourself, its no real biggie

if you dont want that mr2, then id want it

cheers

Shame they have removed that section on the website as I'm sure it was.

£200 just to strip down and sell I say!

Id buy it for 200 quid and fix it, if your good with cars, if not do as jappy said

[Celica_GT]

Oh well,

I bought it! topped the water up and it runs ok. No apparent loss of water, no smoke etc. all good so far, so maybe the HG hasn't failed after all!

Just have problems with drivers door central locking not locking passenger door, yet works fine from passenger side and the electric ariel doesnt want to work...i've fitted my own sony HU tonight.

Basically, my mate andy is crap with cars and thought hg had blown, so he sold the car to a lad at work for £50!!!! thats right 50 notes!!!! i paid 200 off him. end of day i've got a fully runnin mr2 with a slight oil leak (yet to b confirmed where from) with lots of mot!
