Well the guy came to fix the car yesterday and put in all the following

LR MLS Head Gasket
LR Oil Rail Ladder
Thermostat
Cam Cover Gasket
Manifold Gasket
Oil and Filter
Coolant
Water pump
Cambelt
Tensioner

i then put in the ITG panel filter!

i got 12 month 12K warranty

and all that took him 6 and half hours to do.

Turns out he was glad i mentioned changing the water pump as it was just on its way out as i had suspected

Thats a great price! Well done!

when mine went a good 4 years ago, It cost me £800+ but that included the head being skimmed - and a nice scratch along the paintwork courtesy of some braindead mechanic!! polished out alright though!

You should've said the HGF cost you £800, you could've smuggled a new exhaust into the price then!

Glad the car is up and running again mate, best of luck with the MOT.
