how many miles to the gallon mate? and how much roughly would it cost to have a new head gasket fitted?

cheers tony

 

I am a Mechanic by trade & this is not an easy job as this is the 16v engine, as a guess you would not get change from £300, a good days work involved, as for mpg they are quite a heavy vehicle & road use I would get 23 mpg on motorway upto 29 mpg. but don't be put off she is a superb vehicle & with a little work will make a fantastic utility 4x4. I now work as a humane dispatcher (knackerman) & she will go any where, it is the only 4x4 I know that you can change into 4 wheel under 60mph at the flick of a switch, has free wheel as well.
