   no is the short answer. doing it yourself and getting the parts on trade is the cheapest way you can do it.

   that is excately what you should not do. either fix yourself and get a haynes of ebay for £10 posted or get it to a garage and bite the bullet, or worst case scenario tell the buyer if you sell it that the head gasket needs doing
