How much did i pay?.....this is the best bit. At first my mate who owns the garage told me the head gasket had gone. Thought this was strange coz on my service history it said the head gasket was changed 3 thousand miles previously. Anyway he sent the head to get skimmed etc and re-built engine. Then i got a phone call saying it the gear box was also fooked as it had two large holes in it which actually caused the breakdown. "so it didn't need a head gasket then" i asked, the reply was my head gasket had also gone! bollo##s  Â£1100 quid poorer and a distinct impression i had been ripped off. No longer see my mate anymore.
