My New Acquisition.....

Post by cavboy180 »

I have just acquired this car through my brother at next to nothing.. due to him getting my other brothers car....A case of an offer I couldn't refuse....

Hope to keep the cav as well, but not looking financially viable at the moment...oh and the new one is a diesel.. with a chip and straight through exhaust..... ;)

Hmmm what can I say...

Looks alright I guess but it aint a Cav or even a Vauxhall, know they are pretty rapid though!

Just watch the HG on these, all the old Rover / MG cars had a habit of popping there HG's!
Free Parking is a bonus, leaving my Cav in a carbon dust filled carpark is not.....

Hi Mike, all the petrols except v6 and diesels do head gaskets - the diesel had bmw input and tends to be good, to be honest wouldn't have a petrol unless it was v6.... ;)

Only the K-Series, only in the Post -95 "Bubble shapes" (heavier cars with more ancillaries), and 90% of the time failures are down to infrequent coolent changes.

As said though, that's a BM lump.

I love the T-Series meself!
