Default RS Turbo - Head Gasket Question

Guys,

Just spoken to Ford concerning a new Head Gasket for an Escort RS Turbo (MFi) 1989.

The price they have quoted is £16.93 + VAT for FINIS code 6918549.

Could anyone confirm that this is the correct FINIS code and whether the price sounds right? Just seems a lot cheaper than the last one I purchased!

Cheers

Yeah know it sounds cheap, asked the guy what the part was described as and he said "Escort MFi Turbo Head Gasket".

Can anyone check the FINIS code?
