spectacular hg failure. Garage recommendations

[dirtysouthUK]

Hi All,

My head gasket has just failed in a most spectacular fashion, 300tdi, water firing a few foot out the header tank! Now as I'm new to the area I don't know of any good garages in the cambridge area.

Can anyone suggest a good reliable one that'd be up to sorting this for me? I'm readying myself for the worst, a new head, but I have to get it done asap.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Why not do it youreself?

It is not a difficult job here are a couple of links to the tech archive on how to.

The head may only need a skim

As for garages if you dont want to try yourself, im sure someone will be along to advise

Mansfield 4x4 at Bury st Edmunds is not too far from you up the A14.

Give Ralph a ring on 01284 767174, they'd be my choice.

As tempting as it is to do it myself, I really need it back on the road asap, so don't really think this the time for a first attempt at work like this, or the weather!

Cheers for the number Deano, I'll give him a call on monday.

Thanks

That is unbelievable bad timing mate, seeing as I just bought your other one!

I know! It'll be alright in the end. If it just worked it wouldn't be a landie now would it!
