Hi not too good on here so not sure where to write stuff.
Blown my head gasket on my 300 tdi defender and was wondering if anyone could advise me on the best gasket. Multi layer or not as some say they dont work but there supposed to be the best.

Thanks for your help I appreciate it as Im new on here but could you be a bit more specific if you have the time as I want to be sure I do the job once only at least for a while.
The motor is slightly tuned and has had the pump tweaked and raised boost.

What Jamesmartin doesn't know. Isn't worth knowing. His advice is always spot on and plenty of people will vouch for his great knowledge and help

+2 A very knowledgable chap and quick to answer tech question too

By multi layer is that just another term for a composite gasket?
