Does anyone want to read my two penneth?
I think the local lads down souf will come forward,and lend a hand on this one.
That is how I explained it........about £50 in bits (bolts, head gasket and top end kit), plus it needs a rad, P gasket weeping.......and any other issues on the way..........plus maybe a head skim. Labour free, thats anywhere from £200 and up.
Its only DIY'able if you have the knowledge and tools etc. I would love to help out, but dont have the time. I love it how everyone always says, ' yeah, do it in a morning......' Bollocks, utter bollocks........ever had a sheared bolt, seized stud, split hose, or just dont have the right tool. If these jobs are so easy, then I'm sure someone will pop round on a saturday morning, and have it running by the time the football results come on, no problem..........In reality, no and thats what I told Landylass..........Unless there is someone out there who can afford to take the job on for next to nothing, then she is looking at a few hundred quid......I dont see people queueing up to do it as a favour, and that is the reality of it........plenty of talk about what a **** easy job it is, but nobody turning up with spanners
Prove me wrong please someone

whereabouts in southampton are you as i'm about 7 miles northwest of fordingbridge
Like yu there is prob alot of peeps that dont have the time... they have their own lives... and its a big job if things go tits up... if she is prepared to go and buy another disco she has also the money to get it done at a garage imo.

yep I was the same with my disco,luckily my series is a second car so I dont need to use it everyday. I'm pretty sure you can shift it on here and if you need a hand when buying another there is plenty of advice on here or I could pop over but you will have to look after devil childNorth Baddesley, but I have lost all confidence in her reliability this past month, its been problem after problem, I was looking to get another one anyway..these problems have just pre-empted the search n purchase in all fairness. I can't keep throwing money at her, I need a reliable one more than ever given my circumstances )
I cannot keep throwing money at this Landy, she has cost me a small fortune these past couple of months with mot work, then the other stuff that's gone wrong. I cannot entirely afford to buy a new one I am taking out a loan from my mum. I had planned to get rid of her in the next year n get a newer one anyway, and all these problems have just forced the decision sooner ... there comes a time when enough is enough. I am out of my league with the head gasket I really am, even when the water pump was replaced, there was problems with the bolts...so I just know this isn't going to be as straight forward as you all seem to think it will be (
