depends how long its been run for with the head gasket blown, could have warped the head badly

TBH its not a hard job to do yourself and would prob cost about £50 to do, a lot more at a garage

im not sure how long its been ran for,wots a multi layer headgasket??should i use one?wot would i have to do if the head is warped?

Wazzzer

head can be skimmed for about £30, forgot to add that to the total sorry

you won't need anything more than a standard Ford h/gasket

bit more than 50 quid to do yourself:-
head skim
oil and filter
antifreeze and new thermostat(good practice)
new head bolts
head gasket kit
new cam belt (unless very recently replaced) good practice to replace.

quite a simple job on the cvh though.
