Default Head gasket

I think the head gasket may have gone on my car if so does anyone know how much I could be looking at to get it fixed?

If no-one else tells you: when the engine is out, it is a VERY good idea to have it split and have new bearing shells fitted to the crankshaft.

Scoobs have a habit of destroying their bottom end shortly after a h/g repair if you don't.

Drive in drive out HG replacement with new shells is about £1500, but if anything else is found when it's stripped then that would push the price up. I'd think about wether you plan to do anything else in the future like a Forged rebuild for more power as now is a good time to do it.
