give thames valley motorsport a call or ask for rally colin.

His labour rates seem more reasonable than any others I have seen.

To chnage the head gaskets they will need to take the engine out, unless they are option motorsport (old joke).

3rd Vote for Colin M...

Before you know it he'll be Prime Minister

Serioulsy though, his work is very good and his prices are spot on compared to almost* everwhere else.

Rob

p.s. *There may be cheaper but not quite as professional.
