My poor old Wedgie went bang on the way home from the pet shop yesterday. Steam was pouring out of the rear oassenger side vent and wheel arch. I was rescued by a nice RAC man called Andrew, who filled her up with water and escorted me safely home. He thinks it is hopefully just a head gasket, but may be a crack
Local mechanic info needed please....

Local mechanic info needed please....
Mornin,
My poor old Wedgie went bang on the way home from the pet shop yesterday. Steam was pouring out of the rear oassenger side vent and wheel arch. I was rescued by a nice RAC man called Andrew, who filled her up with water and escorted me safely home. He thinks it is hopefully just a head gasket, but may be a crack
Obviously I am not driving her until she has been checked and sorted, so I need to find a good, reliable and reasonable mechanic locally, who knows about these old buses. I live on the outskirts of Ashford, Kent. Someone said theres a guy near Tenterden that is good but I couldnt find anything on google. Can anyone help please? Thanx, Di.
