1999 XC70 2.4T Auto. spares or repair

Hi guys

Sorry this is only my second post so will understand if the mods remove it but I have decided to get rid of this car rather than fix it so thought someone on here might benefit from it.
I would like someone to come and collect it complete as I don't have the space to break it up myself unfortunately.

It ran perfectly and was a joy to drive until last March when the head gasket went between cylinders 3 and 5. There was no spectacular overheating incident, it just started losing water. It was repaired then it sat for ages but now it wont start. It turns over, fires the coil packs but wont fire the fuel injectors. I also can't find anyone local willing to help me fix it.T he tax and MOT has also ran out now.

To make matters worse some thieving scumbag decided to nick the battery last night while it was on charge outside my kitchen window. I'm now at the end of my tether and just want my space back

I have an 1999 XC70 2.4 turbo with automatic transmission
Full Zavoli multipoint LPG system , tank in spare wheel well.
4 Pirelli winter tyres all round, good tread.
Towbar with full electrics
Full beige leather interior
TV/Nav, all electrics working well
138000 miles and FSH
Brand new timing belt kit
No rust

BAD points:
Will need new front discs
Fuel flap is missing
No battery
Doesn't start

I would like rid asap so will take £500 for the lot but it will need to be trailered I imagine.
It's weigh in value isn't far off this tbh and it's breaking value a lot more.

Car is located in Troon, SW Scotland.
Anyone who may be interested contact me on 07527930705 or allyh500@googlemail.com

Thanks
Alistair.

No offers?
It would be a shame to send it to the scrappy as It's far too good a car for that I feel.

Still have this.

P.S. Thanks for your PM Ovlov regarding MJ Motors. I couldn't reply to you (or any PM's) thanks to the good old 30 post rule. I refuse to spam the board in order to be able to PM people.

If you look in the forum support section (top one on the board I think), the 1st thread explains how you can ask a mod to artificially increase your post count to allow messaging.
