My old mate Joss just rang me from Stowmarket, his *not rusty* LGV Convoy van's engine seems to have done its head gasket, a 2.4 Duratec, 5 spd box, what should I suggest?
Local firms are consistently saying £1.5k to fix it, cant be right surely?
He's had it for years and he's a one armed flid, so could not easily change vehicles, and it has sentimental, as well as practical, reasons to keep it, as it is.
He thinks the h/gasket has gone and it needs skimming.
He would be up for anything really.
Massively grateful for any suggestions
good or bad
re-engine?
repair?
