   if you take it a garage will cost loads probably more than cars worth, on the bright side putting a vts engine in will prob cost not much more or do it your self . are you able to change a head gasket and rebuild the head if so its just time and about 60 pounds for a good head gasket kit but dont get one from citreon there not cheap

   conversion project ? to a vts . just drive it then till its dead then vtr engines are well cheap if it dies drop another in till you do the conversion project cheaper than building a head up and quicker
