can someone list the parts i will need if im needing the head gasket changed?

also, can someone suggest a place, or an individual who knows their cossies quite well who is not far from st albans, that can fix the problems for me?

the previous thread is here about what happened so you can evaluate the situation

anyone

i just want a list of options for parts and prices used when doing the headgasket, so that if it comes down to it, the garage wont rip me off with parts prices + vat + their own private tax/cut crap on top

just read the other thread and a few people have told you what the gasket prices are, roughly 55 quid for the headgasket and say 30 for everything else...rocker cover gasket and cam seals I think.....so budget 100 quid for parts....then hower many hours it says on autodata (garages use this to work out labour hours for each job)...

So if its a 3 hour job it'll be...

100 quid gaskets
3x (labour rate)

Then vat on labour....

I dont know how many hours labour you should be paying....best bet is to get a quote from somewhere and ask them how many hours labour theyre charging you in that quote. then post it back up so people can give advice on that
