   doing mine today £20 for new bolts and £50 odd for the gasket, funny ehat you can find out about a car with the head off, like oooooh the valves have been hitting pistons just a little bit the so think i will get away with it

   £350 to have your headgasket and cambelt done is an alright price tbh! especially if thats parts and labour, im gonna pay my mate £100 to just do my clutch and thats just labour, would be more at a garage though

   my car was overheating mate and i thought it was the head gasket, so i took it to the garage and told him the problem so he had a look at it and found out that there was a dodgey connection to the cooling fan and it wasnt kicking in, he said normally about 20% chance its the head gasket and 80% chance it will be something else, overall cost me 15 pound happy days!
