1.9 head gasket

Post by handsoff666 »

Hi, it's been confirmed by a local garage that my head gasket has gone. Can anybody recommend a local vw (camper) garage that can do head gaskets in the nottingham area. Any kind of feedback would be most helpful. Cheers

Hasn't one of the synchro chaps off here recently set up shop in that neck of the woods?
Why would the glass be anything other than half full?

Would recommend these. They've done a few jobs on our van that I can't tackle. Quality work and a fair price. Another Club 80-90 member put me onto them. They're based in Newark.
