Advice Needed Please

[Katkins]

Hi All

Am hoping that you might be able to provide me with some advise, I have been considering buying a 92 2.4 TD Surf. Of course I have seen a few notices talking about cracked heads and overheating. Is this a common problem for the 2.4 (not considering a 3.0) or are these a few isolated cases??

Are there any other problems that seem to be common or things I need to look out for/keep my eye on.

Think yuo will find this pretty much covered elsewhere, however to summarise, about 20% of 2.4s seem to have head problems. Apart from that they are built like tanks.

There is a good check list here
