Hi all, I bought another micra yesterday. Very low milage 1993 1.3lx the shell is beat up and I paid next to nothing for it. Blown head gasket which I will be investigating. Fingers crossed there's no cracks but I'm setting myself up for worst case scenario.
I pretty much got it for the gearbox, shafts, linkage and a load of other bits as spares. It was very cheap. Im curious as to whether you reckon the timing chain would be worth saving and any internals.
The strange thing about its fault is that although it has the common white plumes of smoke out of the exhaust (classic head gasket failure) it didn't overheat or use any coolant when I took it for a boot (on some private roads of course). I'm hoping it's something less problematic. I'm about to check oil levels but it was white smoke not blueish. I'm not that fussed but it would be nice to save it only 45000 miles
Look forward to some feed back cheers
