if the car would be in France I would say "because it is to difficult, can not get the parts, takes four weeks, we work 35 hours a week, it's lunchbreak, iet ies Briettish"
but it's great to live here

Gaz, you are living on a car nut Island, all my cars come from your part of the world.
I have them even repaired in the UK, so maybe you're right, there could be wrong more than a headgasket... I don't know. But your question is probably the right one

To change the head gaskets you talking £1800. If he heads are cracked even more. It's a ball ache of a job and you would need all the gear to lock the timing gear and that's not cheap to hire/buy. [img]http://www.fuelly.com/driver/rob2529/range-rover[img/]

Getting parts in France is hard!?!? Canada aussi! A friend tried to buy a new battery for his imported Defender 300 tdi. Even though he knew the correct size, amperage, etc. they didn't want to sell it because their computer said the vehicle didn't exist. He finally got it without the warranty as it was for 'a non-approved use.' Shocked

I'm sure the gentleman from Nigeria who posts here will have even better stories. Very Happy

Interesting 'easy' repair. A head gasket is not hard, the resurfacing that is almost always requiring is not exactly an everyday DIY project!

If it's only a gasket then it could be a good buy, but it's very seldom a gasket is all that is required. If it were me I would be looking for a sorted well cared for vehicle at a couple of £k more
