I'd plump for a genuine recon unit.

I'm very wary of these remanufactured items.

The genuine recon, is exactly that, genuine.

Replacement is a doddle, buy good a good quality head gasket.

Looks like I'm going to have to replace the 300tdi cylinder head and just looking on EBay I'm wondering whether or not to go for a recon (skimmed and tested) or new. There is a company called Rajapack offering fully built up head and gasket set for £399. The gaskets are the correct ones but it's the choice between an original recon re-built or new. Just not sure. The new ones are said to be EU manufactured! Mmmm...

buy new ,if a heads been hot enough to need skimming you cant test whether it will move again once warm, you can get a new head for about 250 including vat ,valves are cheap and not difficult to lap in
