I could do the job as you say for about £100 but it is not my car the owner cannot do it so hence the post on his behalf.

I just gave Andy a ring in the hope he might be local to me. Unfortunately he is in the West Midlands so a bit to far for me.

It does sound like a good car and it would be a shame to let it die for the sake of a head gasket.

I wish I had a recovery truck.

£800 is a MASSIVE overcharge for a H/G on an N/A.
