I'm not sure how much it costs to get the HG's done. I'd attempt it myself if mine ever went. It's not hard, just be methodical and take your time and follow the manual.
If you've got more problems than just a failed HG (like a cracked block) a new remanufactured engine with top hat liners from Turner engineering is £2700 plus the VAT! I got a quote from them last week as a matter of interest after mine overheated. I think I'd still do it though.
Of course you can buy an untested engine from a scrappy for eBay for about £500 or so.
I'm tending more towards a complete engine replacement from Turner rather than farting about with my HGs as my engine has done 170k anyway. Still got that slight whisper in the back of my mind that I ought to go for an L322 though if I'm going to go that far...
