» CMF MemberHi People,
I am new here and really glad to have found this site. I have a ’95 Micra, and love the little thing (have included a photo) However I have run into a spot of bother that I was hoping could get some advice on........
I have just been hit with the news that the head gasket is starting to leak into the cooling system and I really don’t know what to do? I don’t have the skill to fix it myself and the mechanics I have phoned around have either quoted me anywhere up to $1800(AUD) or told me I’d be better to ditch the car. Can you imagine!!! The bit the kills me is that most of the fee is for labour.
I spent just under $3000 when buying it 6 months ago, and have just replaced the cross member (I know I know, see ‘Known issues with K11's....’ on the other page)It’s a beaut little thing and is too good a car for scrap but I don’t know what the best option is??. Any suggestions?
Worst case scenario I would have to sell it on, reduced price, and hope someone with the ability could do it up and have a great car or a tidy profit, or dare I say use the brilliant parts for their other Micra.
Any and all suggestions welcome.
Cheers,
