Head gasket failure

Post by Bingo »

Good morning
My 1984 T25 Devon has a head gasket problem, it sometimes overheats but sometimes it’s ok , any thoughts, I’m thinking about selling it as it has been to worrying to the use, body work is fairly good for the age , what price does anyone think it’s worth
Thank you

Bleed the coolant system, you might have an airlock. Unless coolant is coming out of the seal..
Without pictures nobody will know how much it would be worth.

Get a quote for the repair and reduce your price with that. Overall price depends on all over condition of the van. Spring/summer is probaby not a good market for project vans.
