Hi i have a 1996 Discovery 300tdi which had the head gasket fail. I’ve had to have the head skimmed but i’m unsure which thickness gasket i need to fit now.
It was the 3 hole gasket which was on it before so do I replace with the same or do i now need a thicker one and if so which one?
Many thanks in advance.
