Hello all,
Looking to make my first acquisition, I have come across a Swiss LHD 1992 Daimler V12 Saloon. However owner says head gasket blown, after overheating in traffic, but repatriated and garaged since, hence low price.
Don't know before viewing if this is a late SerIII-shape or an XJ40/81 shape, so engine could be 5.3 or 6.0.
Please,can I get some advice on whether this is *just* a head gasket replacement (both banks while we're at it), or whether there are side effects to a blown gasket that means more trouble and work - best and worst cases.
Also, some hints at EU sources for parts would be appreciated.
Regards
Stan
