Try Andy in Newbridge - Ace motorsport.........

Many of the authorised dealers on here can offer good prices...

I've had good contact wit Alyn at ASperformance

Fingers crossed mate. I was certain the head gasket had gone on mine a couple of weeks ago was showing all the signs. Steaming off down by the head on the passenger side, Overheating. I pressure tested the car and it turned out to be a 2" rubber hose split just under the aircon pump. About £2.99 to fix . Hopefully u will have the same luck and a cheap fix. Believe me i have had a bad year with my car as some on here will know from my posts.

Great news mate its amazing how a little problem like a hose can simulate head gasket failure and people always fear the worse. Glad that it turned out well for you mate.
