Hi
Anyone know a good cheap mechanic/garage in Northampton.
The Head Gasket has gone on my Frontera (2.3td with Cam Chain) and every garage I have called so far have said "oooo... " and then hit me with either £700 plus, or refuse point blank to do it!!
Aparently its a bi#$h to do on mine because of the chain drive, rather than a cam belt.
I didn't red line it so hopefully there shouldn't be any damage.
Thanks in advance :cry:

You could try Rick at
Rick Mason Motors
Quorn Road
Rushden
01933 411149
or Steve at
S&S Automotive Ltd
44 Weedon Road
St James
Northampton
Rick is a very good Landy specialist, but will work on all sorts. I've not used S&S but they have been recommended to me in the past.
Good luck

not a 4x4 specialist, jap import specialist really but hes a damn good mechanic and since its really an Izusu Rodeo in disguise he might be tempted. Give Giles of Japco a ring on 07970 708994 Tell him Howard from Manchester recomended him. If you cant gte him on his mobile try info@japco.co.uk

Would a 2.8 Isuzu engine fit?
You can buy a tatty motor with a decent engine for a bit over £100 on eblag.
You would need to ask someone in the know if it would fit as regard engine mounts and bellhousing etc.
Just a thought.
