Head Gasket Q's
WideEyedFox:
Would love to do that, however I'm doing family stuff this weekend and next. :rolleyes: Basic servicing etc. I'm happy to do, but when it comes to the bigger stuff I'd sooner get it looked at by someone else. Time, lack of work space, and family commitments all get in the way.
This has now turned in to a bit of a battle of the garages. :grin:
Based on the information above, and both having a look/listen to the problem:
Garage A
Diagnosis : Exhaust manifold gasket (same diagnosis as the MoT tester)
Resolution : Supply & Fit New gasket
Time : 1.5 hours
Cost :

Thats probably best then, go for the cheapest option first - thats what I would do too.
Noises etc can be very difficult to diagnose without actually seeing or hearing for yourself but I wish you well and hope option one cures the problem to keep the cost down for you.
Dr Neil:
If it's chuffing at the back of the head and there is soot on the bulkhead i would suspect the headgasket as i have replaced one for exactly the same fault.

WideEyedFox:
Thanks Dr Neil.
Tomorrow will tell. I'm hoping even if it does turn out to be the head gasket this other garage will be cheaper.
Fingers crossed. :smiley:
