I will know more about the condition of the motor monday or tuesday. A friend of my father proposed to help me as he has to sell his 740, but it's gasoline powered. Gasoline is 40% more expensive than gasoil here, and all the redblocks look to be prone to high fuel consumption. with my 240, cruising at 90/ 100 km/H is really good for fuel economy. I couldnt tell exactly what was the MPG but it was not shameful.

At least you are in france buddy. I have seen all the gates coolant hoses on ebay reduced as old stock on ebay UK. This is a harsh reminder for me to fix our temp gauge too. I check my water and oil every time i drive the car at the moment but without instruments, failures take longer to spot.
Hope she is healthy and there no warping, I have spoken to a man recently who has a d24 cylinder head for sale and a forum member has just acquired a car for spares i know. Im sure one way or another lessons can be learned and well get you going again if you willing to do what it takes.
Remember this engine is a special beast and needs a mechanic who knows how to work on it properly.
