Hi All, not been on here for quite some time but have kept up with some good reading.
My 1992 lj78 2l-te has now succumbed to the dreaded head gasket/ cracked head syndrome after 13 years of careful ownership. It still starts/runs with some white smoke initially and within approx half an hour temp gauge rises and starts pumping frothy coolant into overflow tank which then fills up and dumps it. At standstill if I increase the revs the stock gauge comes down to normal?
My question is what is it's worth.
I have today sorn it with dvla as unable to drive to mot test which expires in few days.
Lacquer peeling off horizontal surfaces, roof, bonnet, tops of front wings etch, everything working, no rot, body very minimal minor scratches/dings, there is electric sunroof on this one which I don't think all have, Toyota 2 battery system alloy sumpguard and bull bar.
Interior and seats (7) with headrests excellent, (covers on since owned) good tyres, original deep dish alloys (5) need refurbing, towbar twin electrics.
That's about it with my sales patter, but what is it worth as complete vehicle?
Thanks chaps.
John
