2.4 advice

[woodwizzard]

Been offered a 2.4 for not alot of money, only done 68k, are there any common nasties with these engines or are they quite strong?
Did you take trusty rusty past the 200k mark Dave?

You will be wanting a swap for the BBB then Dave Its an old K reg that was MOT'ed and then sat for a year doing nothing (not always the best), all original, no rust and very clean inside. Just waiting for a new fuel sender to be fitted to then have a drive.
