    bought my self a wreck

    went to view a 850 today and its the dirtiest thing ive ever seen. 4 baldy tyres with threads sticking out hadnt been washed since new by the looks of it. passanger wiper missing and a cracked head light and suspected headgasket failure. 2 months tax and test. not that ive any intension of driving it after i get it home. all this for the grand sum of £150. going to take a straight bar with me just incase it gose bang on the way home. apart from having hardly any oil in and the water being full of mayo the engine seemed sweet. even if i did have to just start it. itll do exactly what i want it to do. may end up repairing head gasket and putting it back on the road to sell on after ive finished or ill bust it for bits. ill post pics when i get it home

    Check any oil leaks where the pipes connected to the rad and try tightening the nuts that seal the oil cooler cos mine was loose and mixed water with oil.Most likely the head gasket is good.
