Guess who's just bought a 3.2???
by motowndj on Fri Apr 11, 2008 9:43 pm
Evening all, I've been running a 98 2.2 petrol for the last 2 years, brilliant up until Christmas, head gasket went, and when I got the head skimmed, found out that it had been done at least once before - all with less than 50k on the clock!!! I since found out that's not uncommon, so after deciding that it had to go, i've been a brave soldier today, and bought a 98 3.2 - what a monster!!! Pulls like a train, screen says about 21mpg - not too different to the 2.2 (about 25mpg), anyone got much experience with the 3.2? Have I done the right thing? What do I need to watch out for? Thanks for your comments
